American Historical Periodicals from the American Antiquarian Society, Part VIII
Released June 2024 - Now Available!
American Historical Periodicals from the American Antiquarian Society provides a history of the American people from the colonial period to the twentieth century. Offering multiple perspectives on North America's thought, culture, and society through the eyes of those who lived it, the collection shows how history affected citizens from all walks of life.
With 260 periodicals from 1810 to 1926, Part VIII adds 148 titles new to American Historical Periodicals, and 112 that fill gaps in previously digitised periodicals available in Parts I through VII. The titles cover multiple disciplines, including agriculture, arts and literature, business and commerce, children and young people, entertainment and society, ethnic communities, health and medicine, history, immigration, refugee movements, and religion. Many of these periodicals are from state or ethnic historical societies, providing a more localised perspective on American history. This diversity of materials provides multiple lenses through which to view the American experience—and how Americans of that time viewed the world.
