AM celebrates as database named a Best Reference title in annual list
AM is proud to announce that Women’s Voices and Life Writing, 1600-1968 has been named a Best Reference title in Library Journal’s annual list. Illuminating issues of gender, class, race, disability, sexuality, religion and more, the resource amplifies the hidden voices of women in Britain and Ireland across three centuries.
The Library Journal review of the database, on which the award is based, noted:
AM has once again produced an impressive archive of important primary documents that give users a firsthand glimpse into the perspectives and mindsets of an underrepresented but essential group in UK and Irish history. The accounts of daily life and the roles and responsibilities of women since 1600 are riveting to read and hear. Enhancing the outstanding primary sources are superb browsability, exceptional features, and numerous search options.
The annual list from Library Journal is based on thousands of reviews conducted each year and highlights high-impact, curated digital collections and databases essential for academic and public library research.
