Full-text books and magazines mostly published before 1923. Includes scanned volumes of older as well as newer books, audio and video, software, and more.
Digitized images of art, architecture, and other forms of visual culture from around the world, from museums, archaeology, photo archives, slide collections, and art reference works.
Dates: BCE to present
Searching full-text primary documents from the 18th century can be a problem, either because of mistakes transforming the text to something machine-readable, or because 18th century spelling was not yet standarized.
To combat this, try combining several spellings of search words, such as:
smallpox OR smalpox OR small-pox
Also try truncation to get variations in spelling that have the same root:
adverti* to get advertize or advertise
Work in progress...I'll be adding to this section as the semester proceeds.
