Digitized directly from the UMI Early English Books microform, Early English Books Online (EEBO) presents over 125,000 literary and historical classics as they appeared in their original format. Users can see the first printed edition of the Canterbury Tales or view Galileo’s telescopic discoveries. Now in electronic format, this vast body of retrospective material can be searched quickly by a broad base of users, from undergraduates to scholars. Early English Books Online contains over 22 million digital images of virtually every work printed in the English language as well as works printed in Great Britain and its dependencies from 1473-1700 in any language. In addition, The WSU Libraries participates in the Text Creation Partnership, an ongoing project to provide full-text searching capabilities to 25,000 digitized texts in EEBO. In 2019, Early English Books Online migrated to the new ProQuest platform.

A free, collective database of records of all books published in Europe between the invention of printing and the end of the sixteenth century. Search titles in the WSU Search It catalog for holdings and borrowing information.

The English Short Title Catalogue lists over 460,000 items published between 1473 and 1800 mainly in Britain and North America. The items are mainly, but not exclusively, in English and are from the collections of the British Library and over 2,000 other libraries.

Created by the University of Warwick, the Renaissance Cultural Crossroads Catalogue is a searchable, analytical and annotated list of all translations out of and into all languages printed in England, Scotland, and Ireland before 1641. It also includes all translations out of all languages into English printed abroad before 1641.
