During the early half of the 20th century an incredible amount of valuable research took place – research that is still relevant today.
CABI was there, capturing this research and publishing it in printed abstract journals. The information we captured between 1910 and 1972 stretches to over 600 printed volumes – making it almost impossible for anyone to search effectively.
The creation of CAB Abstracts Archive changed that. The Archive is a fully searchable database created from those 600 printed volumes. Containing over 1.8 million records on agriculture, veterinary science, nutrition and the environment, the Archive brings the science of the early 20th century to the desktops of modern researchers.
Very often key scientific issues affecting the world are cyclical – popping up over and over again throughout the decades. If researchers utilize this past information in their research, they can often get a more complete picture or find a new direction.
Covering nearly 60 years’ worth of literature, from 1913 – 1972
