The documented history of forced migration from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century is fully reported in Archives of Refugees, Relief, and Resettlement. The first in the series, Forced Migration and World War II, presents roughly 700,000 pages to document the causes, effects, and responses to refugee crises across the world before, during and immediately after the Second World War. Government records, refugee agency files, correspondence, and personal accounts provide the hidden history of those forcibly displaced from their homes and the relief, resettlement, and repatriation efforts that followed.  This archive can be searched by nationality and ethnicity, country fled, and settlement/resettlement destination. 

While U.S. Supreme Court briefs are essential for legal doctrine, courts of appeals documents are equally valuable for their records of our lower courts. The latest collection in Gale’s Making of Modern Law series, Landmark Records and Briefs of the Appeals Courts provides a comprehensive review of trial history including depositions, transcripts, and arguments that never made it to the highest court. Addressing historical issues beyond legal theory and precedent, Landmark Records and Briefs unlocks material that was for the most part, previously inaccessible.

Founded in 1903, the Daily Mirror initially launched as a newspaper for women, run by women. It was not well received by the public so the format was changed to a more illustrative approach with prominent use of photography to appeal to a broader readership. During the 1930s the newspaper established its status as the paper of the ordinary working man, and by the 1950s it was the UK’s bestselling newspaper. Now the UK’s only mainstream, left-wing tabloid, the Daily Mirror provides a contrast to the more conservative leaning UK newspapers. As such, Mirror Historical Archive provides an ideal counterpoint for students and researchers looking to compare left-wing journalism to right-wing counterparts such as the Daily Mail.
