Early Modern Books, 1450-1700 covers material from the British Isles and Europe and provides an integrated search by combining the digital resources available on both Early English Books Online and Early European Books for the period 1450 to 1700. All collections offers full-colour, or greyscale, high-resolution facsimile images scanned directly from the original printed source. Each item is captured in its entirety, complete with binding, edges, endpapers, blank pages, and loose inserts.
Early English Books Online, 1473-1700 (EEBO) contains more than 125,000 titles of virtually every work printed in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and British North America, and works in English printed elsewhere, from 1473-1700. Lund University have access to all four EEBO collections:

Early European Books, printed sources to 1700 (EEB) builds upon and complements EEBO, and is largely concerned with non-Anglophone materials; all works printed in Europe before 1701, regardless of language, are included together with all pre- 1701 works in European languages printed further afield.
