Cengage Learning presents Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO)the most comprehensive digital library of Eighteenth-Century printed books covering all subjects.

ECCO is the most ambitious single digitisation project ever undertaken and has resulted in a online library of over 138,000 titles and editions (over 155,000 volumes), published between 1701 and 1800, and printed in English-speaking countries, or countries under British colonial rule, but also items in English printed elsewhere and items with false imprints purporting to have been printed in English-speaking countries. The majority of works in ECCO are in the English language but there are also works printed in Dutch, French, German, Italian, Latin, Spanish and Welsh.

Full-Text Searching of more than 26 million pages takes the user directly to Primary Source material in facsimile copy of its original. ECCO is supported by catalogue records from the English Short-Title Catalogue.
