The Voyage and Travels

The development of the printing press throughout the 18th century allowed for a wealth of knowledge, exploration, quickly advancing technology, and increased record-keeping.

Gale started its own revolution in its quest to preserve the century of revolutions by undertaking an ambitious digitization project to store these priceless works in the biggest archive of their type.

These genuine 18th century manuscripts are now available in print for the first time in high-quality digital versions, making them extremely available to libraries, college students, and independent academics. This collection covers the whole world as it was known to historians and explorers in the eighteenth century, and is particularly rich in literature on English life and social history.
