What is displayed on Historical Document pages?
Historical Document pages include a publisher logo and bibliographic details for the relevant source book, followed by the title of the item and the full text.
They also include links to the Table of Contents for the source book and any front/back matter or footnotes.
Note: some historical documents are only available in PDF format. In this case a link to the PDF document appears below the title of the item.
What does the coloured text on the Historical Document page mean?
When you submit a search, the returned results use a hit highlighting feature to show you the exact words within the Full text of an item that satisfy your search. The words making up the 'hit' are emphasised in red.
Hit highlighting will pick up words that have an associated meaning to your search terms.
