HeinOnline
provides “access to tens of millions of pages of research material”. While targeting pre-1980 legal periodicals, many date back to the 1800s. The database contains laws and regulations on both the federal and state level as well as more specialized sources such as “Legal Classics”. A favorite of the Law Unit is the Full Reprint access to “English Reports” (1220-1865)
