Project: Colonial North American Project
"This website provides
access to some of the remarkable materials digitized as part of the ongoing,
multi-year Colonial North American Project at Harvard University.
When complete, the project will make available to the
world digitized images of all known archival and manuscript materials in the
Harvard Library that relate to 17th and 18th century
North America. Scattered through twelve repositories, these documents reveal a great
deal about topics such as social life, education, trade, finance, politics,
revolution, war, women, Native American life, slavery, science, medicine, and
religion. In addition to reflecting the origins of the United States, the
digitized materials also document aspects of life and work in Great Britain,
France, Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico. The ‘Essays’ on this website are the
work of a Summer 2015 Arcadia Fellow, Alicia DeMaio, who was one of the first
researchers to connect thematically related material from among the images
digitized to date."
