There’s a huge variety of collections that are available via the AM Explorer platform.

The Search Guide provides support on how to best search the AM Explorer platform and collections.
The vast majority of the products are available to access via the AM Explorer platform, but some are available via direct links only:

Mexico in History: Colonialism to Revolution
The Transformation of Shopping: Department Stores, Social Change and Consumerism 1830 – 1994
Women’s Voices and Life Writing, 1600-1968.
Our trial access is valid until 18th November 2024. As the purpose of a trial is provide short term institutional access to establish whether the resource is of interest for future sustained access, unfortunately we are not able to extend or repeat trials. Please bear in mind that any links to material within the trial collections will no longer work after the trial ends, so access is temporary.
We’re keen to hear any feedback on the specific collections, either by posting your thoughts on this blog post below, or by getting in touch with your Liaison Librarian at libliaison@newcastle.ac.uk.
