Among the new journals included are such top peer-reviewed titles as Past & Present, American Historical Review, and History Workshop.  New Study Units – hand-selected collections of reference and journal articles, primary documents and multimedia resources – include a variety of emerging study topics such as Environmental History as well as new topics on Chinese, Saudi Arabian and Eastern European history.

"We constantly monitor trends in historical study," said Mary Sauer-Games, ProQuest vice-president of publishing for Chadwyck-Healey.  "We can then plot what students and educators are going to need and have the content available in History Study Center when they need it.”"

Originally launched in 2001, History Study Center has become a staple for student research.  In addition to the Journal Library and Study Units, it includes a Reference Library with dozens of references titles, Map Library, Document Library consisting of thousands of primary sources, KnowledgeNotes™ History Guides and the Web Gateway, which can be searched individually or as a combined unit.   HistoryStudyCenter's vast multimedia content is particularly popular with students providing thousands of searchable images and more than eight hours of fully captioned, classroom-relevant video footage.
