Oxford's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE MODERN WORLD will be published in 2008. There are eight area editors for the project; the editor in chief is Peter N. Stearns (George Mason University). The Encyclopedia will contain
approximately 2.5 million words in about 2,500 articles, from 250 to 7,000 words long; each article will conclude with a bibliography and end-references. The volumes will be generously illustrated with photographs, drawings, and maps. The backmatter will include a comprehensive index.

The Encyclopedia is intended for scholars, college and university students, advance-placement high school students, and general readers; It will be part of Oxford's award-winning reference program, which includes Hillerbrand: The
Oxford Encyclopedia of the Reformation; Kors: Encyclopedia of the Enlightenment; Mokyr, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Economic History.
