Access essential research materials to enhance discovery and scholarship across disciplines

Online primary source collections are not just repositories of the past, they are engines for innovation in the present. Their value cuts across disciplines, making them essential tools for any university striving to support forward-thinking research and career-ready skills.
Advance research and interdisciplinary inquiry
Humanities scholarship creates novel intersections between public policy, climate impact and social justice, as well as emerging fields such as technology ethics and AI design. As the academic community continues to value collaborative and cross-disciplinary approaches, libraries with comprehensive digital collections can position their institution at the forefront of research innovation.

Rising demand for career-ready skills
The humanities are central to producing adaptable, critical thinkers needed across all sectors of the modern economy. Beyond traditional programs, universities can create classes for non-history majors to help introduce and embed these foundational research skills. With employers increasingly seeking critical thinkers, supporting student success in humanities translates into stronger graduate outcomes.
