Aquiline. Colonial North America at Harvard Library. 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 700,000 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. European exploration and colonialism in North America took place over several centuries and affected the lives of millions of people across multiple continents.
The breadth and scope of these materials reflect this long history and its many dimensions. The circles on the map below are live links. Calisphere: The deeper you look, the more you discover.
