Early English Books on microfilm 

The Early English Books microfilm collection consists of over 3,400 reels of microfilm containing roughly 95,000 documents printed in England or North America between 1475 and 1700. These documents include literature, essays, drama, religious texts, ballads and carols, political tracts, pamphlets, medical writings, writings on the classical languages, the earliest editions of The Canterbury Tales and the Morte d’Arthur, and so on. The originals of these documents reside in libraries and museums all over the world, and in many cases, only one copy exists. The collection actually is made up of two parts which are named for the authors who originally indexed the documents, so you may hear the years 1475-1640 referred to as Pollard and Redgrave, while the years 1641-1700 are referred to as Wing. Individual titles are listed in the Online Catalog.
