HIST 813 Primary Sources 16 September, 2005

My exploration this week to me to Cornell University's Library which has a wealth of great primary sources, historical journals, and other journals (Harper's Weekly for example) in digital form. The URL: http://www.library.cornell.edu/about/digital_collections.html

Some of the Categories within their collection are:
Historical Monograph Collection

Labor Photos Database These are photos from 100 years of labor issues.

Making of America (MOA) In this one, I found the "Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion" and so much more!

Samuel May Anti-Slavery Collection This one includes over 8,500 of the important pamphlet and leaflets relating to the anti-slavery struggle. Things such as sermons, local Anti-Slavery Society newsletters, poetry anthologies, and Freedmen's testimonies.

Witchcraft Collection

UtopiaUtopia is a database of images of European Renaissance art, primarily from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

It will take me a very long time to navigate all of this, but this is one that should be more known to researchers.
