American Social Hygiene Posters: 1910-1970

The Social Welfare History Archives is a unique resource for studying the history of social services in America at a national level. Its collections are available to all interested researchers at the Elmer L. Andersen Library at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
The mission of the Social Welfare History Archives is to collect, preserve, and provide access to historical records that support research and understanding of social services and social reform in the United States. A part of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Libraries, SWHA supports the University's traditional mission of research, instruction, and service.
The Social Welfare History Archives was founded in 1964 through the initiative of historian Clarke Chambers. During his research in the early 1960s on voluntary associations, he discovered both a problem and an opportunity. Archives and manuscript repositories at that time had collected very few social welfare records, but many national service organizations had preserved substantial historical records and were eager to see them made available in an appropriate institution. Through his initiative the University of Minnesota Libraries established the Social Welfare History Archives in 1964 to document the history of social service and social reform in America.

Online Archive of California

The Online Archive of California (OAC) provides free public access to detailed descriptions of primary resource collections maintained by more than 150 contributing institutions including libraries, special collections, archives, historical societies, and museums throughout California and collections maintained by the 10 University of California (UC) campuses.

Access to collection guides (also known as finding aids) is essential to your understanding of a collection's content and for determining whether it is likely to satisfy your research needs.
The OAC's comprehensive online collection guides make it easy to find collections and locate individual objects. These guides provide detailed descriptions of the items in a collection, as well as background, historical studies, and analyses (when available). Selected items have been digitally scanned for immediate online viewing.
Do you have a question about a collection or item, or would you like to view the original materials? Are you seeking permission to publish or reproduce an image or text? OAC collection guides also provide contact information for the institution that maintains the resources: you can connect with a librarian, archivist, or curator in order to learn more about and gain access to the physical materials.

Perseus Digital Library


Since planning began in 1985, the Perseus Digital Library Project has explored what happens when libraries move online. Two decades later, as new forms of publication emerge and millions of books become digital, this question is more pressing than ever. Perseus is a practical experiment in which we explore possibilities and challenges of digital collections in a networked world. For the mission of Perseus and its current research, see here.
Perseus maintains a web site that showcases collections and services developed as a part of our research efforts over the years. The code for the digital library system and many of the collections that we have developed are now available. For more information, please go here. If you are interested in running a mirror of the Perseus Digital Library, please contact Rashmi Singhal.
Our flagship collection, under development since 1987, covers the history, literature and culture of the Greco-Roman world. We are applying what we have learned from Classics to other subjects within the humanities and beyond. We have studied many problems over the past two decades, but our current research centers on personalization: organizing what you see to meet your needs.

Computing in the Humanities - working papers

CH Working Papers (or Computing in the Humanities Working Papers) are an interdisciplinary series of refereed publications on computer-assisted research. They are a vehicle for an intermediary stage at which questions of computer methodology in relation to the corpus at hand are of interest to the scholar before the computer disappears into the background. CHWP includes the following categories of publication: articles appearing for the first time; postprints, articles that were originally published in print form; preprints, articles that have been accepted for publication by print journals and that will either be withdrawn when published in print or become postprints; essays on the epistemology and sociology of computer-assisted research relevant to computing in the humanities; non-refereed experimental papers that exploit those properties of the electronic medium that are significantly different from the properties of print; mutanda, moderated but not refereed.
Each article is accompanied by an abstract in both English and French.
