ENAbout
Colonial North America at Harvard Library provides access to remarkable and wide-ranging materials digitized as part of an ongoing, multi-year project. When complete, the project will make available to the world approximately 650,000 digitized pages of all known archival and manuscript materials in the Harvard Library that relate to 17th- and 18th-century North America. Each item is connected to countless stories—of lives lived quietly and extravagantly, of encounters peaceful and volatile, and of places near and far – providing an opportunity to travel back in time, to rethink familiar stories, and to discover new ones.
Explore the past, present, and future of the law at the Harvard Law School Library. With Historical & Special Collections dating to the twelfth century, modern legal material from around the world, and cutting-edge projects that make the law accessible to all, the Library welcomes students, faculty, and staff and researchers from across the globe.Works
