UNIVERSITY OF CEYLON REVIEW (here refered to as UCR)
The UCR describes itself as being "founded in order to make contact with scholars in literary subjects, to provide a medium of publication for the research in those subjects conducted in the University, and to provide a learned review for Ceylon."
The result is a heterogeneous assortment of contributions, ranging from early history to biology and public policy. Nonetheless, there are valuable contributions that merit the attention of historians.
LIFE DATES: Vol. 1, no. 1 (1943)-v. 25, nos. 1 & 2 (April-Oct. 1967)
The problem for researchers is that external search engines do not penetrate the online version. Moreover, the search tool provided by the University requires an exact entry, otherwise searches will not return a result. The browsing tool is helpful, but you still have to know what you are looking for, either the subject or the author.
