'History Compass allows students to take the classroom home by providing reliable information and expert analysis of historical issues on demand. It offers teachers new insights, fresh inspiration, and up-to-date bibliographies. An excellent blend of traditional and virtual pedagogies.'
Cynthia Herrup, Professor of History and Law, University of Southern California
'History Compass may soon become the online rival to Past and Present and The Journal of Modern History combined, an indispensable resource for historians and students.'
J.C.D. Clark, Hall Distinguished Professor of History, University of Kansas
'An immensely valuable resource for teaching and learning, History Compass is the only scholarly publication where historians and students can find such a large and varied amount of high-quality historiography.'
Professor David Bates, Director of the Institute of Historical Research
History Compass, true to its name, does offer a very helpful, and timely, tool to find one's way in several different fields. It is especially useful, I think, to obtain an introduction to fields in which one is not specialized oneself.
J Kamphorst, Leiden University
