The RHE online (1900-2000) via PAO
Since 2007, the site Periodical Archive Online (PAO) of the ProQuest company (http://pao.chadwyck.co.uk/home.do) has contained all the volumes of the RHE from 1900-2000, that is n°1-95, in its collection 6. Hence we find articles, reviews and brief notices, the chronicle as well as the bibliography. There is a charge for access to the PAO but it is generally computer accessible in major university libraries.
Its contents are available in two formats: image (page by page in TIF format seen on the monitor and downloadable) and PDF (complete file). However, this latter remains a passive format and does not permit « full text » research within a document. It is impossible to download a complete issue at once.
The various files to be downloaded to reconstitute a complete issue are:
* 1 file for each article
* 1 file for each review
* 1 file for the brief notices
* 1 file for the chronicle
* 1 file for the bibliography
* 1 file for the name index.
* 1 file for the general table of contents
Via the central research engine, one can select keywords, keywords from a title, an author's name, the article's title, the language, the domain and year of publication. Research may be limited to articles, critical reviews and other appendices or non indexed parts.
The RHE online since 2001
For the volumes from 2001, one can access to the RHE via a subscription to the Brepols Journals Online. This includes the full texts of articles, reports, short notices and chronicles, all in PDF format.
