A LOOK AT THE EARLIEST
ENGLISH BOOKS
Preserving the world’s knowledge
In 1938, information powerhouse ProQuest began a massive project to
preserve the very earliest books printed in English.
70 years later, more than 130,000 books from the birth of printing in
1473 through 1699 have been digitized, enabling broad online
access, precision searching and protection from the ravages of time.
Take a look at a selection of pages from this unique database.
