There are over 20,000 records in the database currently, and more
than five hundred records are added every four months. We index the
most current year for which full journal volumes are available along
with backlog years, and we are now working both on 2006-2007 and on
the remaining publications from 1990 through 2005.
The time period covered is 450 C.E. to 1500 C.E. with Russia extending
to 1613, the beginning of the Romanov dynasty, because the sixteenth
century is still medieval in social and political terms. The geographic
area is Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East as well as areas in
which Europeans travelled.
Subject coverage for gender and sexuality means that articles on masculinity
and male homosexuality are included. Publications in English, French,
German, and Spanish have been indexed since the project began in 1996.
Materials in Italian (published from 1990 to the present) began to be
included in the database in May 2001.
