Access More Than 250,000 Historic Documents in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library | Printer Friendly |
The IEEE legacy project, started in 2003, is part of IEEE’s plan to digitize all papers from its technology journals, in an effort to bring historic, scholarly content to new generations of researchers and practitioners.
IEEE Xplore Provides Link to Engineering History
|
The IEEE legacy collection represents a critical evolutionary period that chronicles the development of today’s information age. With the addition of these historic publications, researchers will have access to a tremendous repository of papers by visionaries in the electrical engineering profession. As of 1 January 2009, over 250,000 total documents from more than 100 titles have been loaded—with more than 6,000 articles loaded in March 2009.

Due to the magnitude of this project, volumes may not be 100% complete. IEEE is working towards filling any gaps. For information on donating missing issues, please contact your account manager. The IEEE Xplore digital library currently contains more than 2 million documents. Included are papers from more than 143 IEEE journals, 2,800 IEEE standards, and over 900 annual conference proceedings. The majority of the content dates back to 1988, though content from select publications dates back as far as 1913. |
