Using BBIH for studying, teaching and research
Our help pack aims to help you get the most from BBIH when studying, teaching or researching British and Irish history
The Bibliography of British and Irish History (BBIH) is the most comprehensive and accurate guide available to what's been written about British and Irish history. It's an essential resource for research and teaching.
BBIH is a subscription service and is available remotely via university and research libraries worldwide.
Following the decision of the Royal Historical Society, the Institute of Historical Research is pleased to announce that it will increase its support for BBIH to become the sole academic partner for the project. The IHR is delighted that Professor Roey Sweet and Jenny Lelkes-Rarugal, Editor of BBIH, will continue to lead the bibliography at the IHR in future years, with the support of section editors and our publishing partner Brepols. We will provide further updates in due course as we work with our partners to manage a smooth transition to the new arrangement.
