Nineteenth Century Collections Online (NCCO) from Gale Cengage is one of the most ambitious scholarly digitization projects ever undertaken, a multi-year global digitization and publishing program focusing on primary source collections of the Long Nineteenth Century. NCCO brings together full-text, fully searchable content from a wide range of primary sources selected with the guidance of an international team of experts. Archives published in the program include works in Western as well as non-Western languages and are sourced from rare collections at libraries and other institutions around the world.
