A wonderful resource--the material is unavailable elsewhere; the interface is remarkably easy to use (search terms highlighted, particularly useful for long, densely printed documents; crisp reproductions; easy click/drag navigation; multiple fields to search), and the collection is vast.
I found it tremendously helpful for a book I am writing and believe it would be of real use to serious researchers, as well as a fascinating 'browse' for anyone with an interest in historical topics.
