Help pack for BBIH users

Over Summer 2020, the BBIH’s editors have created a set of videos that introduce the Bibliography, and show how to use it for teaching preparation and study.

The current set of videos are for:

  • First Year undergraduates studying History, with a focus on Britain and Ireland, the history of British empire and Commonwealth.
  • History lecturers and college librarians, with a focus on using BBIH for teaching — both to find relevant content and enable students to identify and distinguish between different kinds of history publications.

BREPOLiS bibliographies vs Google Scholar

We are pleased to share with you a short video (1:50) comparing the benefits of using BREPOLiS bibliographies (L’Année Philologique, the International Medieval Bibliography, the Bibliography of Humanism and the Renaissance, the Bibliography of British and Irish History, the Index Religiosus, and the Bibliographie de civilisation médiévale) compared to a Google Scholar search.

 

 

D-Day 75th anniversary

Today, on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, we remember the thousands of men who laid down their lives in battle in the hope that we might build a better world. While the number of veterans who saw D-Day first hand is gradually reducing, historians look to make sure that their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Below, you can find some links to recent works on World War II indexed in the Bibliography of British and Irish History.
