Inhalt :: Content

Umfassende Sammlung digitalisierter Veröffentlichungen, die in Nordamerika von 1639 bis 1800 erschienen sind. Sie bildet eine wichtige Quellenbasis für alle Aspekte der Forschung zur amerikanischen Kultur der Frühneuzeit (Geschichte, Literatur, Philosophie, Theologie u.a.). Die Sammlung, die über 38.000 Titel mit mehr als 2,4 Millionen hochaufgelösten Seiten umfasst, enthält Veröffentlichungen zu nahezu allen Aspekten des kolonialen und frührepublikanischen Amerika – von religiösen Traktaten über politische Pamphlete bis zu literarischen Werken. Sie basiert auf der einschlägigen Bibliographie von Charles Evans (American Bibliography, Bde. 1-16, 1903-1967) und der Mikrofilmausgabe des Verlages und bildet damit eine zentrale Quelle für die Erforschung der frühen amerikanischen Kultur und Geschichte.

Wide-ranging teaching and research applications
Each of the printed works in Series I is expertly indexed, allowing researchers at all levels to jumpstart research and quickly navigate results by genre, subject, author, history of printing, place of publication or language. Major subjects include economics and trade, government, health, historic events, labor, languages, law and crime, literature, military, peoples, philosophy, politics, religion, science and technology, society, manners and customs, and theology.

Subject areas may be further refined by dozens of relevant topics. Under the subject heading, “Historic Events,” for example, researchers are one click away from primary sources on King Philip’s War, the Boston Massacre and the Whiskey Rebellion.

Within “Politics,” researchers will find links to works on abolition, corruption, election law, nationalism, refugees, suffrage and many other frequently researched topics. Other in-depth topics include agriculture, capital punishment, child rearing, commerce, diseases, education, foreign affairs, Native Americans, medicine, military operations, religion, the institution of slavery, temperance, trials, witchcraft, women and hundreds more.
