The Annual Register is a classic reference work providing historians and students with information on the major and minor events of the last two and a half centuries, with historical context and perspective, as well as biographical information. This new version of The Annual Register makes over 240 printed volumes available electronically. Users can search in any or all volumes at the same time, and search for words in the text itself as well as in the index. From James Cook's landing on the shores of Australia to the Iraq war, The Annual Register contains a wealth of information in the form of biographies, obituaries and world reports. In addition to giving users the big picture, it also provides small details such as the weather conditions at the time, dates of public holidays, accounts of celebrity weddings and more. The new printed volume of The Annual Register will be added to the digital version every year.
