CAB Abstracts Archive

Covering the literature from 1910 to 1972, CAB Abstracts Archive makes over 1,860,000 records on every aspect of agricultural science, veterinary medicine, nutrition and natural resources, available electronically for the very first time.

The Archive brings together research from 17 printed abstract journals produced between 1910 and 1971 (the equivalent of 600 volumes) into one fully-searchable electronic database. Up until this point, such research was only available in print, making it inaccessible to many researchers – and perhaps even ‘lost' or forgotten. Because of the relevance of yesterday's knowledge to today's issues, CABI recognised the importance of making this information as accessible as possible.

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.

The Archive contains seminal research that will help today's researchers:
- Build on earlier scientific work
- Learn from past mistakes
- Learn from past techniques
- Assess long-term trends and changes
- Access valuable research about rare and infrequent events
- Find 'missing' pieces of research
- Gain insights about the past

Much of the research covered in the archive is still relevant today:
climate change / biodiversity / pest control / pollution / animal diseases (such as TB and avian flu) / food production / managing natural resources / plant and animal breeding
