aterials accessible here are Cornell University Library's contributions to Making of America
(MOA), 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.
This site provides access to 267 monograph volumes and over
100,000 journal articles with 19th century imprints. The
project represents a major collaborative endeavor in
preservation and electronic access to historical texts. The
Making of America collection comprises the digitized pages of
books and journals. This system allows you to view
scanned images of the
actual pages of the 19th century texts. Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) has been performed on the
images to enhance searching and accessing the texts -- for
more on the OCR process see About MOA.
Making of America is made possible by a grant from The
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Making of America is best viewed with a frames-capable browser.
