eBook Collections

We currently have eight distinct digital collections. Each collection presents an easy-to-use online resource, aiming to provide access to the most recent content in each of their respective fields. Our collections are updated annually, to ensure that each year there is new content for exploration and study. For more information on our collections, click the links below:

When you purchase a collection, you will receive access to the entire subject archive (back to 1995).  You will have the option to “top up” your subject collection by purchasing subsequent modules of relevant collection content on an annual basis. 

Our modules will be available as annual collections providing perpetual access to all e-books released in that year. 
 

Complete Bristol University Press and Policy eBook collection 

Alternatively, you can access the entire Bristol University Press and Policy Press portfolio. This is our complete archive of 25-years of award-winning publishing across the social sciences and aligned disciplines. 

Purchasing this collection gives perpetual access to over 1700 monographs, policy and practice and recommended reading texts.

Our collections can be purchased via BUP directly or simply email bup-digital@bristol.ac.uk.
