Join Simon Bell, Wiley Publisher, to learn more about the Wiley Digital Archive’s new Environmental Science and History collection!
Environmental Science and History will be the sixth archive in the Wiley Digital Archives programme, focusing on critical aspects of anthropogenic change and including features unique and rare to archival collections from multiple, global sources.
The archive comprises approximately one million pages of primary source content. The content is drawn from a range of sources. Of note is the focus on data-heavy content, taking advantage of the WDA platform’s unique data-export features.
The collection presents a rich historical dimension to growing fields of research related to environmental and ecological sciences and climate, energy, and sustainability policies.
Mr Bell will introduce the new archive and give a demonstration of the platform.
