ProQuest History Vault impressed me deeply. I use a lot of historical databases, but this one stands out as one of the best and most user-friendly I've encountered. There are still so many hidden histories that await the light of day, and the curious eyes of young historians.

“One of [History Vault’s] best features is the ability to search across the entire database. I would not have known to search for materials within the A. Philip Randolph Papers, for example, for Randolph was uninvolved in the VEP. And yet, through my keywords search, VEP related materials popped up in his collection.”
— Evan Faulkenbury, Assistant Professor of History, SUNY Cortland
