Autumn-Winter 2026 Newsletter > Explore the full potential of Brepolis Databases

New developments are making the Brepolis databases an increasingly cohesive research environment. This Autumn-Winter 2026 Newsletter highlights some of the most significant recent developments,

All Latin full-text databases now share a common data structure and user interface, facilitating more consistent searching and analysis across Library of Latin Texts (LLT), Archive of Celtic-Latin Literature (ACLL), Aristoteles Latinus Database (ALD) and Electronic Monumenta Germaniae Historica (eMGH). To mark this development, Brepolis has introduced an extended trial subscription (2027) at half price for selected Latin text databases, available to existing subscribers to the Library of Latin Texts (LLT).

Following earlier developments in the bibliographies, our encyclopaedic databases now also benefit from a new accessibility-compliant interface. Furthermore, the bibliographies continue to expand their citation coverage through the integration of citation data provided by the Perspecti plugin. These citation data are derived from Perspecti, a forthcoming database that is scheduled for launch in 2027.

In 2026, you will experience the full impact of these developments: redesigned interfaces and improved data models are now available for all bibliographies and will become available for all full-text databases. The citation plugin will establish itself as an essential benefit for users of our bibliographies, while the number of citations will increase significantly in the course of 2026.

Brepolis Databases on a Timeline

The BREPOLiS platform currently offers access to 24 databases in a broad variety of research areas of the Humanities. Because it is sometimes difficult to clearly identify the chronological demarcation of each database, we have brought them together in a convenient timeline.

A more detailed version of the timeline, including additional information on the ‘Typology’ of the various databases, the languages they cover, or the product clusters they belong to, can be downloaded here (PDF file).
