Internet Modern History Sourcebook
Full Text Sources
Links to full texts of books available at this and other sites will be
listed here. The texts are also integrated within the overall structure of the Sourcebook.
This listing is to aid compilers of web guides to online books, etc.
The books that tend to have been put online here, or those that have been
linked, tend to be those entire books that are often assigned to students in college
classes to be read along with the more usual excerpted texts.

© This text is copyright. The specific electronic form, and any notes and questions
are copyright. Permission is granted to copy the text, and to print out copies for
personal and educational use. No permission is granted for commercial use.
If any copyright has been infringed, this was unintentional. The possibility of a site
such as this, as with other collections of electronic texts, depends on the large
availability of public domain material from texts translated before 1927. [In the US, all
texts issued before 1927 are now in the public domain (although later editing may be
copyright). Texts published before 1964 may be in the public domain if copyright was not
renewed after 278 years. This site seeks to abide by US copyright law: the copyright status
of texts here outside the US may be different.] Efforts have been made to ascertain the
copyright status of all texts on this site, although, occasionally, this has not been
possible where older or non-US publishers seem to have ceased existence. Some of the
recently translated texts on this site are copyright to the translators indicated in each
document. These translators have in every case given permission for non-commercial
reproduction. This site is intended for educational use. No representation is made about
the copyright status of offsite links: note that for the Modern History
Sourcebook, unlike the Medieval Sourcebook, many texts are offsite. Notification of copyright infringement will result in the immediate removal of a text
until its status is resolved.
NOTES:
The Internet Modern Sourcebook is part of the Internet History Sourcebooks Project. The date of inception was
9/22/1997. Links to files at other site are indicated by [At some indication of the site
name or location]. Locally available texts are marked by [At this Site]. WEB indicates a link to one of small
number of high quality web sites which provide either more texts or an especially valuable
overview.
The Internet History Sourcebooks Project is located at the History Department of Fordham University, New York. The Internet
Medieval Sourcebook, and other medieval components of the project, are located at
the Fordham University Center
for Medieval Studies.The IHSP recognizes the contribution of Fordham University, the
Fordham University History Department, and the Fordham Center for Medieval Studies in
providing web space and server support for the project. The IHSP is a project independent of Fordham University. Although the IHSP seeks to follow all applicable copyright law, Fordham University is not
the institutional owner, and is not liable as the result of any legal action.
