A Carman Researcher, recently pointed out a neat web
resource to me.
http://www.umdl.umich.edu/moa/
" Making of America (MOA) is a digital library of primary sources in
American social history from the antebellum period through reconstruction.
The collection is particularly strong in the subject areas of education,
psychology, American history, sociology, religion, and science and
technology. The collection contains approximately 1,600 books and 50,000
journal articles with 19th century imprints. The project represents a major
collaborative endeavor in preservation and electronic access to historical
texts. "
Current online holdings:
Pages: 634,068
Volumes: 4,058
. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, MOA seeks to involve
research institutions and national consortia to develop common protocols
and consensus for the selection, conversion, storage, retrieval, and use of
digitized materials on a large, distributed scale.
The initial phase of the project, begun in the fall of 1995, focused on
developing a collaborative effort between the University of Michigan and
Cornell University. Drawing on the depth of primary materials at the
Michigan and Cornell libraries, these two institutions are developing a
thematically-related digital library documenting American social history
from the antebellum period through reconstruction. At the University of
Michigan, approximately 1,600 books and ten journals with imprints
primarily between 1850 - 1877 were selected, scanned, and made available
through the present system. Librarians, researchers, and instructors
continue to work together to determine the content of this digital library
and to evaluate the impact of this resource on research and teaching at
both institutions.
