Eighteenth Century Collections Online contains every significant English-language and foreign-language title published in Great Britain and its territories and colonies between the years 1701 and 1800; Part I includes 135,000 printed works, comprising more than 26 million scanned facsimile pages. While the majority of works in ECCO are in the English language, researchers will also discover a rich vein of works printed in Dutch, French, German, Italian, Latin, Spanish, and Welsh.

Full-text searching across all 26 million pages enables users to explore a vast range of books and directories, bibles, sheet music, sermons, advertisements, and works by both celebrated and lesser-known authors. Researchers will also find rare works from women writers of the eighteenth century, collections on the French Revolution, and numerous editions of the works of Shakespeare.

Together with Part II, Eighteenth Century Collections Online: Part I offers students and researchers access to the most comprehensive online library of eighteenth-century book titles published in Great Britain and its territories and colonies.

Multiple editions of an individual work now allow researchers to make textual comparisons between editions essential for their research. With hard-to-find material in every genre and subject, this collection provides the kind of multidisciplinary research opportunities that have been unavailable until now. The material has been arranged and presented in seven subject areas, streamlining the research experience for teachers and students alike:


ECCO contains thousands of titles, each of which falls into one of seven subject areas:

  • History and Geography -- Explore ancient and contemporary times, voyages and discoveries, biographies and memoirs, genealogical collections, gazetteers, church antiquities, and tourist guides of Britain. Topics include chronologies, recreation, military, travel diaries, and topography.
  • Social Science and Fine Arts -- Social Science looks at manufacturers and merchants, artisans and skilled workers, international business, banking, taxation, and lotteries. Topics include current events, social reform, business/economics/finance, and political science. Fine Arts reviews music, painting, theater and architecture, building and carpentry, vocal and instrumental music, paintings, prints drawings, coins and metals, collectibles, and private art collections.
  • Medicine, Science, and Technology -- Science, applied science and technology, and the treatment of diseases and conditions are covered. Topics include agriculture, cookbooks, military technology, natural philosophy, scientific education, and more.
  • Literature and Language -- Find celebrated eighteenth-century essayists, novelists, poets, and playwrights, including hundreds of works by the best-known authors as well as many by lesser-known authors. Topics include drama, poetry, ballads, religion, grammar, dictionaries, songs from plays, satire, book lists, and more.
  • Religion and Philosophy -- Resources include sermons, bibles, and prayer books as well as moral and ethical debates and prescriptions for proper conduct.
