As of August 1, Gale's History Resource Center -U.S. will change to History in Context - U.S., History Resource Center -World will change to History in Context - World, and Science Resource Center will change to Science in Context. All three databases will also have new and improved interfaces.
You can find these and all of our other databases on our Database Page.
