Online Collections

Electronic books, journals and other digital media

The Haddon Library team regularly purchase and contribute to the coordination of relevant electronic books, journals, datasets, digital archives and more in collaboration with our colleagues at the University Library.

Many of our ebook collections can be consulted via iDiscover. Some dedicated packages can also be found alongside many of our other digital resources via the Databases A-Z LibGuide. 

If you have any questions or find something is not working as expected, please let us know.

Haddon Library Image Collection

We have over 500 images from older books at the Haddon Library, hosted by Apollo, the Cambridge University Repository. You can find more detailed background information about many of the images in our dedicated pages about Blandowski and Lafitau.

If you would like access to high-resolution copies of these images, please place your request via the repository pages for the images.

Other Collections

Cambridge Digital Library

The Cambridge Digital Library is an extensive collection of digitised material and research outputs from across the University of Cambridge. Of particular relevance is its close working relationship with the University's Digitial Humanities initiatives.

The Cambridge Digital Library is an open resource for anyone to use.

Apollo

As well as hosting the Haddon Library Image Collection, Apollo offers access to a huge range of other materials from across the University of Cambridge with a focus on storing and preserving research outputs. Through Apollo you can access many different outputs including: publications, conference proceedings, book chapters, monographs, theses, research data, presentations and more.

Much of Apollo's content is open for anyone to use and is an excellent place to get inspired by the latest research in your area of interest. For example, the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research hosts their monograph series through Apollo.
