We are happy to announce that at the end of 2021 we have begun an open access cooperation with the German Association for British Studies, which is also represented on our advisory board. From 1987 until 2018 the association published the series “Publications of The German Association for British Studies.” In the beginning the series documented papers presented at the association's annual meetings, but in the following years monographs, dissertations and other conference volumes came to be included as well. The publications cover mostly such areas as history and sociology, but also political science, economy and German-British relations. As of 2018, the series was discontinued but since its inception in the 1980s it has grown to 71 volumes.
Six volumes are already available in the AGF special collection in The Stacks:
AGF 06: Britische Übersee-Expansion und britisches Empire vor 1840
AGF 07: "Victorian Values": Arm und Reich im Viktorianischen England
AGF 16: Der Eigentumsbegriff im englischen politischen Denken
We will, in collaboration with the GDZ, continuously digitize the remaining volumes and hope to make as much of its contents available in open access. For this purpose we need the agreement of the authors, especially for essays published in the collected volumes. So if you have published in this series, please get in touch with us: thestacks@sub.uni-goettingen.de
