Answering the call within the academic community for smaller, more specialised collections of primary source material, Gale introduces Archives Unbound. This new online resource digitises the most popular microfilm collections from Gale and Primary Source Media and makes them available to scholars 24/7  Between 5,000 to 200,000 pages per title, these collections act as a a small adjunct to our large digital collections making them a very affordable option for libraries and departments.

These subject-specific archives support multi-disciplinary research in history, political science, hard science and ethnic studies and can be purchased on a title by title basis or in any combination. A very active publishing schedule drives this new online resource due to advancements in Gale technoloy to publish multiple collections quickly. In the first release alone Gale has digitised 15 microfilm collections - with many more titles planned for subsequent releases.
