Steinberg, S.H. Historical Tables 58 B.C.-A.D. 1985 . Updated by John Paxton. Both Freeman-Grenville and Steinberg provide a chronological listing of world events in tabular form, arranged into six columns. Everyman's Dictionary of Dates recasts much the same information in dictionary format with detailed entries under names of countries, national literatures, and significant historical events. Approximately 2,000 periodicals in many languages are indexed, as well as some books and dissertations beginning in 1980.
All abstracts are in English.
Annual indexes in no. 4 of each volume, as well as cumulated five-year indexes. Also available on CD-Rom from 1982 to the present. CRIS provides a combination of subject and keyword indexing to articles from approximately 240 English-language journals in the field of history from their first issue through 1974. Each article appears under one or more of the 342 subject categories, which are then sorted by keyword and date. Articles are cited in a highly abbreviated format, with incomplete title and no indication of length.
