CRL has enabled a premium on access to deep research collections to support research and teaching at our member institutions. Please use your VPN or Proxy before accessing these. Please note that we already have institutional access to many of these resources.
As the current COVID‐19 environment continues to limit access to physical collections, CRL has reached out to providers to broker expanded electronic access to research collections. We are pleased to announce we negotiated on behalf of our member libraries an extraordinary level of access to Gale Primary Sources, to which students, faculty, and staff at CRL voting members in North America will enjoy unlimited access through June 30, 2020.

CRL worked with Gale to enable access to these collections through a special account with your institutional IPs. Note: these resources are not cross-linked with other Gale products to which your institution already has access. If there are questions about access or if you would prefer to work with Gale to expose these collections through existing institutional accounts, contact your Gale customer representative.
