New Additions to the Adam Matthews Collections!
All Libraries, Collections Posted: January 23rd, 2026UCF Libraries has gained access to a major new expansion of primary source materials in the Adam Matthew collections. The Adam Matthew collections, a primary source database founded in 1990, are already a valuable resource for UCF faculty, students, and staff. This expansion adds a broad range of historical content covering multiple cultures and time periods.
Newly available collections include, but are not limited to:
• American Oral and Personal Accounts of World War II
• Shakespeare’s Globe Archive: Theatres, Players & Performance
• Nineteenth Century Literary Society
Adam Matthew’s mission centers on the belief that the freedom to think critically is at the heart of education. These resources can support academic research or serve as material for personal exploration.

Access to these and other primary source databases is available through the UCF Libraries website. If you need help with research or working with primary sources, you can schedule an appointment with a librarian here.
