BU History Faculty in the ACLS Humanities E-Book Collection
Seven current faculty members of the Boston University History Department had their monographs selected so far for inclusion in the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Humanities E-Book (HEB) online collection (www.humanitiesebook.org). The collection contains approximately 4,300 books of high quality in the humanities, accessible through institutional and individual subscription, and inclusion of a title signifies its importance for the field of history and for the humanities more generally. Below is a list of the faculty and their books in this important online repository. Congratulations to our faculty!
