Welcome!

This project is a joint effort by The Kinsey Institute and its Library to provide resources beyond our walls to scholars, students, and the general public. We recommend reading the first chapter, How to Use This Encyclopedia, to become aware of the conventions used throughout the text and the special features available in the Web version.

All countries from the original volume of the CCIES have now been posted. In the Menu, you can find news about CCIES and the Editors and subscribe to our RSS newsfeed, as well as access other useful information. We will be posting some original Web-only useful features in the near future. The Editors of CCIES invite additions, corrections, and comments.
