"Adam Matthew Digital continues to be a classy - and substantial -act".

" This [Victorian Popular Culture] is a wonderful resource that provides a wealth of material dealing with past popular media experiences, and is valuable for research and teaching purposes. During a time when the inter- and transdisciplinary are important tools of analysis, the Victorian Popular Culture Portal offers an assorted tapestry of examples that encourage the discovery and examination of the rich connections that exist between past and present forms of popular media"

“This database [China: Trade, Politics and Culture, 1793-1980] can be a superb research and teaching device. The visual material is wonderful, and the interactive maps are some of the best ones in the field of Chinese history that I have see thus far. In addition, the English translations of many texts will be extremely helpful to students. With this database, undergraduate students will be able to produce a kind of research papers, which they could not have possible written before.”

"We are absolutely loving the products we purchased from you in 2007, and your pricing model is the kind we like the best".

" [Medieval Travel Writing Online is] an excellent creation and should open up the subject of medieval travel writing to academics and students alike who have shied away from the topic precisely because access to aged translations has proved prohibitive."

" I just wanted to say that your license is probably the best I've ever seen. Licensing is one of the biggest barriers between our users and the resources we'd like to buy, but I could not find a single objectionable term in yours. It might sound odd, but I really wanted to thank you for creating a great license that benefits both parties!".

"The Slavery Online collection provides a unique means for students to comprehend the form of historical investigation by using images of the documents, manuscripts and images - not typed and transcribed renditions. The online site is exceptionally easy to navigate allowing the user to move easily from the documents to interpretive essays to images to bibliography, and I was startled to see the amount of documentation that Adam Matthew has managed to include. The site will be an asset to faculty who teach world history, U.S. history, British history, and Latin American history. Furthermore, the site will also prove useful to those of us researching the African Diaspora in the greater Atlantic world. I also suspect that faculty in African-American Studies, Anthropology, and Sociology will be glad to see the title added to their collections.".

"What an amazing resource [Mass Observation Online]! I am hooked, if I get anything else looked at over the next couple of weeks it will be a miracle! I thought the whole set-up was fantastic. The interface was intuitive, and beautifully designed which made it extremely easy to use as well as easy on the eyes. Being so far from Brighton it was fantastic to be able to dip into papers that I would not dream of looking at during a visit. As a result of the search facility I made a number of surprising finds that have really moved my work on. I would recommend the package to others, and indeed my friend Dr Richard Doty at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC was also hugely impressed with the eighteenth century collection that he trialled."

"Our reasons for purchasing Empire Online have already been entirely borne out in the short time we have had access to it. The quality of the design, the primary sources and the editorial essays it contains are all very impressive. It has been an invaluable resource for enriching the teaching of imperial history, as well as for comparative exercises and demonstrating how leading digital resources can be used in the modern academic environment."

"I was running a senior level course on Literature and Empire for MA students and Phds who were just starting off on their research work. They learnt a lot from the introductory material and essays and got useful access to primary sources from exploring the wide variety of material featured in Empire Online. Its wide reach meant that English faculty from the Renaissance Period through to Victorianists and Post-Colonialist found that they could use it to good effect in teaching and for research work".

"Since purchasing Defining Gender Online, we have been directing a large number of students towards the primary sources it contains with pleasing results. It has been an excellent source to support our teaching, and the students have enjoyed using it to enrich their work with high quality primary sources."

"Adam Matthew Publications do an outstanding job of bringing a very broad, interesting, and thematically coherent range of primary sources to students of British and Empire history and literature the world over. The leading provider of microfilmed sources in British studies, they are now taking advantage of digital technology to make their collections more accessible and broadly searchable. Digital projects such as Empire Online promise to be a real boon to experienced and novice researchers alike."

"By making available a range of rare printed and important manuscript texts on many aspects of gender, sexuality and culture, the Defining Gender collection is an exciting and, for many, indispensable resource for undergraduate and advanced research into British culture and society. I recommend it highly."
