Adam Matthew is a subsidiary of SAGE Publications that focuses on publishing databases of primary sources and accompanying supporting material. For this partnership, we will have access to 10 of the databases included in their "White Label Titles" that allow access to a range of collections relevant to major topics in American and World History. We recognize that most of these materials are primary sources; however, the primary sources include period newspapers/publications and the secondary materials supporting the primary sources are strong, providing a variety of different sources for Wikipedia editors. This is our first partnership with a SAGE publishing subsidiary, and hope to use this as a demonstration to other SAGE organizations as to how the Wikipedia Library works.
Included resources
The databases included in this partnership are:
- American Consumer Culture, 1935–1965
- American History, 1493–1859 - This database will be extended to cover the years 1493-1945 later in 2015.
- American Indian Histories and Cultures
- American West
- Archives Direct (Portal) - Materials from The National Archive UK
- China, America and the Pacific
- China, Culture and Society
- Empire Online
- First World War (Portal) which includes:
- Global Commodities
- Church Missionary Society Periodicals
- Popular Medicine in America 1800-1900
