This database covers the literature from 1910 to 1972. It gives electronic access to more than 1,860,000 records on every aspect of agricultural science, veterinary medicine, nutrition and natural resources. The Archive combines 17 printed abstract journals produced between 1910 and 1972 (the equivalent of 600 volumes) into a single electronic database. CAB Abstracts Archive makes accessible important research that has been 'lost', 'forgotten' or 'ignored'. Previously only available in print, this knowledge has in effect been inaccessible to all but the most determined researcher.

CAB Abstracts Archive is fully searchable and has been re-indexed with modern terms to allow today's researcher full and immediate access to the research of the past.
