Encyclopedias and book chapters are combined with play texts, image collections, video, audio and interactive tools to form immersive subject-based resources. This range of content types presents challenges for ensuring accessibility compliance beyond those required for standard eBook or journal platforms. I will outline the recent work we have done to ensure our platforms are accessible to all kinds of users, and the challenges we have identified in our future roadmap.

EEBO is now established as the first port of call for any researcher studying early modern history or literature, but is of course limited to material printed in the British Isles, or printed elsewhere in the English language, from 1473 to around 1700. To some extent, scholarship and curricula have no doubt been skewed by the widespread availability of EEBO and the lack of equivalent comprehensive sources for printed works of other countries and languages. Early European Books will redress this balance by working with major libraries to digitise their collections of works in all other European languages and from any location in Europe, from the era of Gutenberg, Jenson and Aldus Manutius to the end of the seventeenth century. EEBO has been more than 70 years in the making, beginning with Eugene Power, founder of University Microfilms, filming rare books in the British Museum in the 1930s. This established the Early English Books microfilm series, which has had as its aim the capturing and cataloguing of all titles listed in Pollard & Redgrave's Short-Title Catalogue (1475-1640) and Wing's Short-Title Catalogue (1641-1700). To date, more than 125,000 titles have been

Sixty-six volumes from the original Heinemann print series have been digitised and published as the first instalment of a new Chadwyck-Healey collection, the ultimate aim being to bring together the entire contents of the list, from its beginnings in 1962 to the last titles in the series, which were published in 2003. This new online edition means that students and researchers worldwide will now have access to an extraordinarily rich segment of postcolonial publishing history, starting with the founding works of modern African literature, and encompassing more than 300 volumes of fiction, poetry, drama, myths, memoirs and reportage.
