Emerald Backfiles

Emerald has been working with the British Library to digitize the full archive of its journals collection in business and management and also in the areas of library and information services, materials science and engineering. With a collection of over 60,000 articles from over 120 journals, Emerald Backfiles forms an interesting and important record for business and management scholars and social historians alike. For example, the collection includes an article entitled “World Wide Web: The Information Universe,” authored by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee in 1992 which is not that long ago by most standards, but represents a pivotal era of digital technology.
