About this guide

This guide is a list of print and electronic indexes to Western European periodicals from the 17th to  21st centuries. Indexes to specific titles, periods, subjects, and geographic areas are included as well as descriptive guides and relevant online websites. The guide is divided in two types of pages: a comprehensive for resources covering several countries or languages and 11 pages listing language specific resources.

 

 

Each page is subdivided into three sections:

  • Indexes: Lists indexes and tables of contents alphabetically, by century. Includes websites and online archives with index.
  • Guides: Lists bibliographic and historical guides to periodicals without indexes or tables of contents alphabetically, by century.
  • Websites: Links to online bibliographies and guides, as well as online archives that do not provide an index.
