The American Revolution. The French Revolution. The Industrial Revolution. The Eighteenth Century saw what many scholars believe to be the three most significant events in world history. The most ambitious digitization project ever undertaken, Eighteenth Century Collections Online vividly brings this period to life with materials ranging from books and directories to Bibles, sheet music, sermons and advertisements. ECCO contains 26 million pages of text from more than 136,000 titles (155,000 volumes).
