The Advantages of Microform 

Despite the continually developing array of digital technologies—and sometimes because of it— 

information professionals at libraries and universities worldwide still rely on microform. They know it is 

an archival medium that will meet the needs of researchers for years to come. Microform provides many 

advantages including: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Viewer/Scanners - Images can now be easily sent to remote locations using 

microform viewer/scanners, which link to your computer workstations, letting you view 

and print articles or digitize and transmit them electronically (within Fair Use 

guidelines). This approach combines the unparalleled preservation and storage benefits 

of microform with the speed and ease of electronic access. 

Special Collections - Microform is the answer if you need hard-to-find or specialty 

resources. Many older newspapers and periodicals are available only in microform, and 

it gives your users access to complete page images from historical titles—often from the 

first issue forward. 

Space Savings - Microform lets you store an extensive collection of complete article 

images in a small amount of space. Microform takes up less than one-tenth the area of 

bound copies of newspapers and periodicals. 

Ownership - There is no upkeep or access fees. It uses stable, proven technology you 

already have, with no need for new workstations or continual software upgrades. 

Clarity and Accuracy - Microform is the answer if you need cover-to-cover clarity and 

accuracy. Full-image articles are essential to getting the full story. 

Complete Collection - Microform usually is the best solution if you need a complete 

collection fast. Maybe you‘re seeking accreditation or even rebuilding after a disaster. An 

extensive, customized collection of retrospective and current microform titles will meet 

the needs of your researchers quickly and efficiently. 

Support for Specialized Studies – A compact collection in microform will meet 

specialized research needs and still leave plenty of resources for the rest of your 

population. Many libraries also use microform as an added point of access for content 

that is most in demand. 

Durability - archived properly, it can last for generations, and there is no degradation of 

images. 

ProQuest Quality - ProQuest‘s microform images are taken directly from the original 

printed pages, so you always get the clarity of first-generation copies. 

ProQuest Microform is the answer because we‘ve been producing it since 1938. We not only exceed 

industry standards, we set them. Our microform products include thousands of newspapers and 

periodicals, and hundreds of research collections, many of which are not available from any other source.

Black Abolitionist Papers 

1830 - 1865 

Long neglected in studies of the anti-slavery movement that precipitated the Civil War, the important writings, 

speeches and correspondence of black abolitionists are drawn together in a comprehensive collection for researchers. 

Now libraries can supplement their African-American studies holdings with primary sources necessary for a 

complete study of this major historical topic. The collection encompasses approximately 15,000 articles and 

documents of nearly 300 black abolitionists in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, France and 

Germany and includes: 

 

 

 

The correspondence of key African-American leaders 

Speeches, sermons and lectures 

Articles, essays, editorials and other major writings from more than 200 African-American 

abolitionist and reform newspapers 

 

Receipts, poems and other miscellaneous documents 

The Black Abolitionist Papers project was conceived, compiled and edited by George E. Carter, University of 

Wisconsin-LaCrosse and C. Peter Ripley, Florida State University, who recognized that these reformers were a 

persuasive force in the 19 th century anti-slavery movement who had been virtually ignored. Among research topics 

to be explored in this collection are: 

 

Northern/Southern separatism within the church 

 

 

Black colonization and emigration 

Black political action 

 

 

Church support of black educational institutions 

Black intellectual and social life 

This collection constitutes the largest single collection of materials touching antebellum African Americans. A black 

studies program would not be complete without access to these documents outlining the integral role played by 

African Americans in the anti-slavery crusade.

The Dougherty Collection of Military Newspapers 

1910 

Army...Navy...Air Force...Marines... National Guard...Coast Guard...Merchant Marines. Each branch of the U.S. 

military has a distinct heritage. The histories, traditions and accomplishments of each branch are recorded in vivid 

detail in military newspapers. These papers were produced to inform, entertain and uphold the morale of service 

personnel. As one of the largest collections of its kind ever amassed, the Walter S. and Esther Dougherty Collection of 

Military Newspapers of the United States brings together more than 4,000 issues of military papers. Nearly 2,500 

distinct titles are represented, including issues from the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, 

World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam conflict and the years between military conflicts. Most titles date from 

World War II. Due to the location of military personnel during the war, many titles were published in Europe or the 

Pacific. Others were published in the U.S. and sent to troops abroad. Titles from all military branches are included, as 

well as some associated titles from defense industries. For ease of use, the titles are arranged alphabetically within the 

collection. This comprehensive collection will be valued by students of military history, military science and political 

science.

The Echols Collection: Selections on the Vietnam War 

1900 - 1995 

Each year following monsoon season in Vietnam, a harvest of unexploded ordinance appears in the countryside: M79 

grenade rounds, flechette bombs and other lethal remnants of the war years. Even casual exploration can be fatal. Yet 

year after year, Vietnamese peasants continue to farm their fields in hopes of bringing new life to a war-ravaged land. 

The historical record of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War can be compared to the ground on which it was fought. 

In spite of years of study, the topic is still considered explosive. Policies and motives of participants on all sides of the 

war have been obscured by ―revisionist histories‖ of every political and ideological hue. Facts are contested and 

subject to change when new information appears. With the introduction of The Echols Collection: Selections on the 

Vietnam War, ProQuest brings together multiple historical and national perspectives with an eye toward providing 

better understanding of the Vietnam conflict. 

With more than 5,000 volumes of books, monographs, speeches, pamphlets, manuscripts, serials and historical 

documents, Selections on the Vietnam War provides unique insight to students of 20 th century American and 

Southeast Asian history, international and U.S. law, economics, political science, government, diplomacy, foreign 

policy and journalism. Selected from the vast holdings of the John M. Echols Collection at Cornell University (the 

premier North American source of material on Southeast Asia), the contents of this collection provide an incisive look 

at pre-war and wartime history as well as the long-term effects of the conflict in Southeast Asia and around the 

world. The collection contains a variety of political and social commentary, including views expressed by anti-war 

groups, pro-war factions, religious groups and governmental organizations worldwide. Rare U.S. and Vietnamese 

government reports, publications and research documents are also included. Readily accessible materials have been 

omitted. Selection criteria for the collection are based on the Vietnam War Bibliography by Christopher L. Sugnet and 

John T. Hickey. Included are 3,253 items in English and French (the latter focusing on the French colonial period) - 

propaganda, pamphlets, government documents, literary works, etc., from the 17 th century Catholic missionaries to 

the fall of Saigon in 1975. Contents of the units are roughly as follows: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Units 1-4: General materials, English language 

Unit 5: The Kahin Collection; U.S. policy papers 

Unit 6: Thailand, English-language materials

Founding Fathers 

Collections of personal papers that provide researchers with insight into both the private and public lives of historical 

figures are always popular because of the balance they provide to other historical accounts. Now, more than 8,000 

pages of letters and other documents from the most important figures in early U.S. history are available to students 

through this microfiche collection. The collection is drawn from materials at the renowned Morristown (New Jersey) 

National Historical Park and the Dawes Library at Marietta College (Ohio). All signers of the Declaration of 

Independence are represented, as well as other important figures. Martha Washington, Patrick Henry, John Paul 

Jones, Dolly Madison, James Madison, Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Aaron Burr are 

among those whose writings are included. Students and researchers will benefit from such pieces as John Adams‘ 

letter to John Taylor explaining his views on the American system of government and our system of checks and 

balances. Political treatises like this are balanced with rare personal glimpses, such as Benjamin Franklin‘s letters 

describing his religious beliefs. Students of Revolutionary War history will find particularly interesting the large 

sections on George Washington and the United States Army.

Heraldic & Genealogical Manuscripts of the Sixteenth and 

Seventeenth Centuries at Lambeth Palace Library 

1501 - 1700 

Lambeth Palace Library is the historic library of the archbishops of Canterbury and the principal library and record 

office for the history of the Church of England. The Library was founded as a public library by Archbishop Bancroft 

in 1610. The Library focuses on ecclesiastical history, but its rich collections are important for an immense variety of 

topics, from the history of art and architecture to colonial and Commonwealth history, and for innumerable aspects 

of English social, political, and economic history. It is also a significant resource for local history and genealogy. This 

unique collection of 24 manuscripts include armorials of English, Scottish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, 

Portuguese, and Spanish families, together with pedigrees of many noble European families.

Gates, Horatio. The Horatio Gates Papers 

1726 - 1828 

Major General Horatio Gates‘ fame was established on October 17, 1777, at Saratoga when he defeated ―Gentleman 

Johnny‖ Burgoyne. The victory marked the turning point of the Revolutionary War and secured a place in history for 

Gates. Congress subsequently appointed Gates president of the Board of War. Centuries later, historians still question 

whether the victory at Saratoga truly belonged to Gates or to General Philip Schuyler, or even to the impetuous 

Benedict Arnold. Now, researchers in history, political science, and military history can access the only complete 

primary resource material for studying Horatio Gates‘ career and the controversies surrounding him. The collection 

contains correspondence and military records of the 18 th century, documenting life during the French and Indian 

War, the American Revolution, and the early years of the Republic. By examining personal correspondence, 

researchers can study Gates‘ victory at Saratoga and his role in the Conway ―Cabal,‖ which plotted to replace George 

Washington as Commander in Chief. Another issue that can be assessed is Gates‘ defeat at Camden, South Carolina 

in 1780. In that battle, Gates was accused of gross tactical errors and possible cowardice. The event caused Gates to 

lose his ―hero‖ status forever. 

Series I: Correspondence, 1726-1828 

This series comprises the bulk of the collection and contains correspondence from major political and military 

personalities including:

The History of the Vietnam War 

‘The History of the Vietnam War...is of inestimable value for primary source research for graduate contemporary history, 

political science, and programs of international study. It also holds much potential for graduate and undergraduate level studies 

in cultural anthropology... [and] European colonial history.’ 

~ Microform Review 

Not since the Civil War has a conflict so divided the American public. The Vietnam War is the most political, 

controversial war ever recorded in American military history. Even today, years after the withdrawal of U.S. troops, 

researchers strive to separate fact from fiction. The History of the Vietnam War provides a comprehensive and 

systematically organized collection of material on this series of events. All aspects of the war are covered in this 

collection - from the Viet Cong and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Southeast Asia to the campuses and political forums in 

the U.S. Conflicting perceptions about the nature, course, and purpose of the war are represented. The collection 

spans 21 years and includes 365,000 pages of materials. Contents include: unclassified and declassified U.S. 

Government documents and reports; captured documents; transcripts of interviews with defectors; prisoner of war 

interrogation reports; newspaper and periodical clippings from American, Vietnamese, Asian, and European 

English-language publications; media monitoring documents from the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) 

and the Department of Commerce Joint Publications Research Service (JPRS); scholarly monographs and studies; 

transcripts of speeches and press conferences by leaders on both sides; un-copyrighted books; monographs and 

similar published source materials; propaganda leaflets and similar materials published by both sides; and a number 

of unpublished book-length manuscripts chiefly by Vietnamese writers. 

 

 

 

 

 

Unit One: Grand Strategy and General Assessment of the War contains contemporary 

assessments by leadership in Saigon, Hanoi, Washington and other Allied capitals, Peking, 

Moscow, and Tokyo.

materials related to Vietnam during the Vietnam War, including historical, economic, cultural, 

and educational documents; a chronology; and general materials.

OmniSys World Literature Collections (OWL) 

Reuben Gold Thwaites, for a number of years superintendent of the Wisconsin Historical Society, edited 73 volumes 

of The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents: Travels and Explorations of The Jesuit Missionaries in New France in 

1610–1791. This set is a prime source for the history of Canada in the 17 th and 18 th centuries. It is indispensable for 

general studies of North America in the colonial period and records manners, customs and traditions of the northern 

tribes of American Indians from a period for which there are few other records.

Manuscript Maps Relating to North America and the West Indies in 

British Repositories * 

1760 - 1783 

The years 1760-1783 mark the apogee of British mapping in North America. Maps and plans at various scales were 

accepted as indispensable adjuncts to both the civil functions of colonial administration and to military needs for 

fortification, strategic planning and troop movement. Many of the maps surviving these decades were commissioned 

by the Crown and not only exemplify the development of cartography during the Enlightenment, but also provide a 

record, sometimes unique, of the events and places to which they relate.

The Massachusetts Historical Society is an independent, not-for-profit research institution incorporated by the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It was founded in 1791 for the threefold purpose of collecting, preserving, and 

disseminating resources for the study of American history. It was not only the first North American historical society 

but also the first library of any kind to devote its primary attention to collecting Americana. These collections cannot 

be matched either in scope or depth by those of any similar institution in North America. Titles from the MHS

Morristown Manuscript Collection 

Over the years, scores of scholars and researchers have visited Morristown National Historical Park in New Jersey 

specifically to gain access to the more than 60,000 pages of important manuscripts contained in its collection. Now, 

this historical resource is available to students of American history, Americana, genealogy, and Revolutionary War 

history through this microfilm collection. Though the emphasis is on the Revolutionary War period and men such as 

Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, Madison, and Washington, there is substantial material on 19 th century figures 

like Martin Van Buren, Daniel Webster, and Robert E. Lee. Also featured are many items on the French and Indian 

War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War Period. Materials on and writings by such literary notables as Samuel 

Clemens, James Fenimore Cooper, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Washington Irving are also represented. The 

collection is divided into two parts - The Lloyd W. Smith Collection and The Park Collection. 

The Lloyd W. Smith Collection had its origin in banker, philanthropist, and collector Smith‘s deep interest in 

compiling and preserving Washingtonia and materials related to genealogies and local histories in his native New 

Jersey. Over the years, his interest became a preoccupation, and he often purchased large-scale lots of manuscript 

materials to acquire a few desired items. Smith‘s will dictated that the Morristown National Historical Park should be 

the final recipient of his valuable holdings and a library was constructed to house the collection. The Park Collection 

consists of materials acquired by the Washington Association of New Jersey, which was formed in 1874 to save and 

perpetuate the Ford Mansion, George Washington‘s headquarters in 1779 and 1780. In addition to preserving his 

home as a national shrine, the Association made a concerted effort to collect Washingtonia and other equally valuable 

documents and artifacts from America‘s past. When Morristown National Historical Park was created in 1933, the 

National Park Service purchased these manuscripts, which became the nucleus of the collection. From politics to fine 

arts, this collection has something for every researcher, and it is one of the most significant collections of materials of 

this type in the United States.

Occasional Papers from St. Augustine’s College 

1853 - 1935 

Saint Augustine‘s was originally founded as an abbey and endowed by King Ethelbert in A.D. 605. Suppressed in 1538, 

it was restored 310 years later as an Anglican Mission College, under Royal Charter, in 1848. The Missionary College of 

St. Augustine was established to relieve the shortage of ministers qualified to serve the British Empire. The Occasional 

Papers, the first of which was published on May 31, 1853, had their origin in the letters received from various quarters 

and read at Sunday evening gatherings at the College. These letters from former students give a wide range of 

contemporary views and opinions on Christian mission fields. Some detail pioneering labors and successes; others 

reflect first impressions of the societies, terrain, and peoples they met; most supply a broad range of local, social, 

geographical, anthropological, and missiological information. The letters originate from around the world, some written 

aboard ship, and others from locations identified only by their navigational coordinates. 

The major requirement for admission to the College was communion with the Church of England and ―satisfactory 

certificates of baptism, and of religious and moral character.‖ Because of this, the missionaries themselves came from 

diverse nationalities and backgrounds, including one Eskimo named Kallihirua. These letters reflect the attitudes of 

participants in an important period of expanding Church of England missionary activity. They record early contacts 

with indigenous peoples and reveal the painful efforts of colonial pioneers to adapt English social and religious 

practices to very un-English environments. Included are subjects of anthropological interest such as the ―Head Feast‖ of 

the Dayaks in Sarawak and the ―Feather Cloak‖ from Hawaii; local cures such as ―Native medicines in the Cape‖; news 

from the mission field in China and Zululand; material on the Boer war and the siege of Standerton, Transvaal; along 

with many other interesting items. These Occasional Papers provide an important source for missiologists and 

anthropologists, and more widely for their portrayal of British colonial and post-colonial history at a local level.

Pamphlets in American History 

Beginning with Tom Paine‘s Common Sense, which altered the course of early U.S. history; pamphlets have played a 

crucial role in American history. This unique microfiche collection brings to your library these historic documents of 

public opinion, which are generally unavailable as research sources. There are more than 15,000 titles in this collection, 

drawn from all periods of United States history. Pamphlets in American History also provides the cataloging necessary 

to integrate pamphlet literature into the mainstream of collection development activities. This collection has been 

carefully designed to meet the needs of historians and librarians in the areas of bibliographic control and access. Each of 

the five groups within the collection is accompanied by its own guide and each guide includes bibliographic citations, 

author title and subject indexes. 

Pamphlets in American History is organized within each group in subject-specific segments. In this way, the collection 

can be tailored to meet a library‘s collecting policies or departmental teaching strengths. The historical information 

contained in the pamphlets is as rich and varied as the authors. Included are biographies, campaign literature, speeches, 

legal decisions, trade union leaflets, personal narratives and more. The American History pamphlets collection at the 

State Historical Society of Wisconsin has been a major resource for this undertaking. The collection also draws upon the 

pamphlet resources of many other general and special collections, including: the Syracuse University Libraries; The 

Tamiment Library of New York University; The New-York Historical Society; The Kenneth Spencer Research Library of 

the University of Kansas; and the Walter Clinton Jackson Library at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Penn, William. The William Penn Papers 

1644 - 1718 

While best known as the founder of Pennsylvania, this remarkable man also made his mark as a Quaker leader and 

social philosopher during his lifetime. A friend of England‘s kings, yet a firm believer in religious and political 

freedom in America, his often paradoxical life can now be viewed through the papers in this important historical 

collection. Libraries and institutions supporting programs in Colonial American history, European history, religious 

studies, and Pennsylvania state and local history will be able to offer their students access to valuable resource 

materials for research. The approximately 3,000 documents are arranged chronologically, and include: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correspondence to and from Penn 

Theological papers 

Patents 

Commissions and constitutions 

Account books 

Land records 

 

Diaries 

Penn exchanged letters with many influential people, such as Queen Anne, Cotton Mather, and Peter the Great, and 

the correspondence in the collection includes these important letters. The collection is also of particular value for 

exploring Penn‘s often-complex finances. His business and financial papers offer new insights into the problems 

facing a British landowner who was at the same time a colonial proprietor. Students of political science and religion 

will discover a wealth of material pertaining to Penn‘s political and religious beliefs, and can relate these to the 

developing trends in Colonial America. Other topics that can now be examined include: 

 

English society‘s persecution of Penn and other Quaker leaders 

The founding of Pennsylvania in 1681 

 

 

Penn‘s friendship with King James II 

His defense of colonial autonomy 

 

His arrest for making false claims of debt and his attempt to sell Pennsylvania 

The collection was filmed by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania from documents assembled from more than 60 

institutions and individuals.

Quaker Official Correspondence: Home and Abroad 

1681 - 1881 

The Yearly Meeting is the autonomous decision making body of the Quakers. The London Yearly Meeting has been 

held regularly from 1672 until the present; Quakers in other countries have their own autonomous Yearly Meetings. 

This collection contains the official correspondence sent and received by the London Yearly Meeting, along with 

casual correspondence to and from other Quaker groups. The collection is divided as follows: 

 

 

 

 

 


7 reels 35mm 

Part 1, General Epistles 1681-1857: Contains letters of general advice to Friends meetings. The 

epistles were sent out uniformly to all Friends groups and circulated in printed form. The two 

volumes published in 1858 form the most complete and convenient edition of these epistles, 

along with a historical introduction and an index. 

Part 2, Epistles sent 1683-1872: Contains specific advice to Friends in America, the West 

Indies, and Europe. Early volumes include a few epistles to and from meetings of Friends in 

England. 

Part 3, Epistles received 1683-1879: Forms the other half of the correspondence between the 

London Yearly Meeting and other Quaker Yearly Meetings and groups. 

Part 4, Letters to and from Philadelphia 1757-1857: Consists of copies of the official 

correspondence between the executive committees in London and Philadelphia. These 

committees, known as Meeting for Sufferings, were responsible for business between the 

annual meetings. These letters touch on slavery, the colonial wars, and the Revolutionary war, 

as well as internal Quaker matters. 

Part 5, Casual Correspondence 1785-1881: Contains copies of letters and epistles mainly to and 

from overseas meetings and Quaker groups. They come from Denmark, Norway, France, 

Germany, Russia, America, India, and Australia. Issues covered include slavery and African 

emigration, conscientious objection to military service, and the emancipation of serfs in Russia.

Salem Witchcraft 

1648 - 1930 

This unique microfilm collection brings together the written histories and interpretations of witchcraft occurrences in 

New England from 1648 through the early 20 th century. The subject of witchcraft will be forever tied to New England 

in American minds. Researchers in every generation since have been fascinated by the old trial records and attempts 

at explaining the hysteria that gripped New England‘s residents during the late 1600s. The collection touches on 

witchcraft incidents throughout New England and North America during colonial times. However, the majority of 

materials surround the most famous and well-documented witch-hunt in history--that of Salem Village in the 

Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1692. This collection brings together over 60 works representing some 7,000 pages of 

information gleaned from the Salem Village Witchcraft Collection maintained by the Danvers (Massachusetts) 

Archival Center. The microfilm edition provides a resource by which students and researchers can understand the 

events of the witchcraft outbreak and how these events have been interpreted by various writers and scholars from 

the time of the trials up to the 20 th century. Included are: 

 

 

Early publications by contemporaries of the events in Salem, such as John Hale‘s 1702 work A 

Modest Enquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft 

Imprints directly concerning the trials, such as Thomas Hutchinson‘s 1767 History of the 

Province of Massachusetts Bay and Peleg Chandler‘s 1841 American Criminal Trials 

Full-length histories of the New England witchcraft outbreak including Charles Upham‘s 1831 

Lectures on Witchcraft and his well-known 1867 two-volume work, Salem Witchcraft 

 

 

 

Sections from often-overlooked local publications and histories, such as History of the Town of 

Danvers (1848), by John W. Hanson 

Legal, moral, and psychological interpretations about the witchcraft hysteria outbreak 

Bibliographical materials on the period, including Justin Winsor‘s The Literature of Witchcraft 

in New England 

The material in this collection was carefully selected by Richard B. Trask, curator at the Danvers Archival Center. The 

printed index accompanying the collection provides easy access to the film through a listing of reel and item 

numbers.

The Stevens Family Papers 

1664 - 1959 

In any list of families that have contributed significantly to America‘s growth, the Stevenses of New Jersey, New 

York, and Pennsylvania rank at the top. For almost three centuries, dating back to colonial days, this family has 

distinguished itself as one of America‘s most inventive families. Individual family members have actively 

contributed to military, political, economic, and social life in the United States. This microfilm collection is truly 

unique in that it presents in one primary source an unbroken record of documents that spans the entire history of our 

country. Students and researchers in American history and culture will find a wealth of material for both general and 

specific studies into America‘s past. Included in the collection are more than 40,000 pages of manuscripts, letters, 

notes, drafts, bills, deeds, broadsides, copies of official documents, maps, diagrams, photographs, and genealogical 

notes on other prominent families. 

The Stevens family distinguished itself through the many inventions its members produced, as well as through the 

founding of the world-famous Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Most notable of these 

technological advances were the steamboat (before Fulton), the double-ended steam ferryboat, the first American 

ironclad warship, and the railroad tie, spike, and rail, still used as the universal railroad bed today. These papers are 

rich in detail about the family‘s inventions from concept to completion and provide valuable insight into the rapid 

development of science and technology in America. Also featured in this collection are the papers of the Hoboken 

Land and Improvement Company, a family corporation in New Jersey that was an integral part of Stevens family 

business and a repository of important details on business dealings throughout the centuries. As a personal record of 

six generations of Americans, the Stevens Papers provide valuable insights into American life and history since pre- 

Revolutionary days. They reflect the interests, activities, attitudes, struggles, and contributions of men and women 

who were part of America‘s growth and development. The collection was filmed from the New Jersey Historical 

Society in Newark, New Jersey.

Thompson, Augustus Charles. The Papers of Augustus Charles 

Thompson 

1812 - 1901 

19 th century Christian missionaries brought not just religion to their flocks in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, but 

also Western culture and its often conflicting views: assumptions (sometimes demeaning) about indigenous 

populations and their cultures, juxtaposed uneasily with Western ideals of equality, fraternity, and justice. The 

papers of Congregational minister Augustus Charles Thompson (1812-1901) reflect his lifelong involvement in the 

foreign mission movement. The 10,000 volumes of his personal collection, now housed at Hartford Seminary, include 

his vast library of missionological texts and correspondence. Born in Goshen, Connecticut, Thompson graduated 

from the Theological Institute of Connecticut (later renamed Hartford Seminary) and served as pastor of the Eliot 

Church in Roxbury, Massachusetts, for virtually his entire clerical career. He wrote and compiled a number of books, 

the most famous of them his Moravian Missions (New York, Charles Scribner‘s Sons, 1890), a thorough review of the 

German sect and its pioneering and widespread missionary efforts. Students of religion and history will find 

treasures such as these in the collection: 

 

 

 

 

The correspondence of Eleazar Lord, including letters from John Jay, Jonathan Edwards, and 

Caleb Strong 

Thompson‘s correspondence with many important churchmen of his day, including Rufus 

Anderson, Edmund de Schweinitz, Gustave Warneck, and Jens Vahl 

Holographic versions of 18 th century sermons by preachers Timothy Edwards, Asahel Hooker, 

Joseph Lyman, and Gideon Hawley 

Materials related to Thompson‘s service on the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign 

Missions, including letters describing his visits to India in the 1850s and the London 

conferences of 1878 and 1888 

The Thompson Papers will particularly appeal to researchers in: 

 

Religion, especially missionology and 19 th century conservative Protestantism 

This primary source material - especially the correspondence - reflects both Western cultural attitudes and everyday 

details of time and place, e.g.: 

 

 

A description of the devotional habits of black South African women converted by 

missionaries 

Thompson‘s adolescent son‘s account of a Fourth of July celebration in Connecticut 

A guide, included at the beginning of the first reel, lists items as they appear on the film, followed by an index of correspondents by name; A

African Military Accounts: War Office Route Books, Military Reports 

and Information Précis for British Africa * 

1869 - 1933 

With the Scramble for Africa and the subsequent ‗pacification‘ of British territories, it was essential for the War Office 

to amass accurate information of possible strategic importance regarding the military and economic potential of 

indigenous populations, their histories and local topography and to organize this material in a form that would be 

readily available in the event of an emergency. Consequently, Colonial Office correspondence and other diverse 

sources, as well as military reports, were gleaned for local details which were then correlated to form comprehensive 

mosaics. In order to disseminate this intelligence, the corpus of information on individual territories was periodically 

printed for wider official use. Thus, for example, the Route Books and Military Reports provided comprehensive 

accounts of the country traversed, the location, size and condition of each village along the route, e.g. the number of 

huts, availability of water and provisions, populations, population estimates, etc., together with accompanying maps. 

As for the Précis, which frequently run to several hundred pages, they most clearly resemble in scope and format the 

better known British Naval Intelligence Division, Geographical Handbook Series (Restricted) relating to foreign 

nations and territories which were produced during the Second World War. The Précis contain details on the 

geography, climate, harbours and communications, forts and docks, trade, bibliography and strategy. Compiled at 

the beginning of the colonial era, these long forgotten sources provide a basis for an assessment of subsequent 

changes with African societies and are invaluable for historical economic and political research.

The Igbo “Women’s War” of 1929: Documents Relating to the Aba 

Riots in Eastern Nigeria * 

1929 

This conflict, at the height of which 50 women were killed and another 50 wounded in two clashes between British 

troops and police and Igbo women demonstrators, came about as the result of a lack of understanding on the part of 

the Colonial authorities of the position that women held in Igbo society. The documents reproduced here consist, in 

the main, of Minutes of Evidence and Reports of the various Commissions of Enquiry set up to look into the 

disturbances of 1929.

Parral Papers 

1631 - 1821 

This unique microfilm collection represents perhaps the most definitive historical record of the Southwestern United 

States and Mexico. Spanning the years 1631-1821, El Archivo de Hildalgo del Parral is a collection of official records, 

directives, treaties, court transcripts, wills, letters and other documents relating to the Spanish Colonial Era in 

―Nueva Vizcaya‖ - the region now including much of the southwestern United States and much of Mexico. Over 

360,000 manuscript pages, written in Spanish, provide primary reference on the administration of government, 

Indian uprisings, slavery, public entertainment, military organization, silver mining, official residences, crime and 

punishment and civil law. Since the history of the Southwest is often clouded by fiction, the Parral Papers benefit 

serious researchers attempting to uncover accurate historical data. Included are references to Father Eusebio Koni, 

the accusation of Juan Mange by the Jesuits, a report on the assassination of the governor of New Mexico in 1644, 

plus an account of the 1720 peace treaties with the Apaches and the Texans. 

Includes index available in either Spanish or English

Providence Island Company, Papers * 

1630 - 1641 

The Providence Island Company was founded in 1630 by a group of Puritan grandees in an attempt to confront the 

national enemy, Spain and begin the building of a foundation for English economic independence. Surviving papers 

include the records of company meetings, official and unofficial letters and reports and the diary of the last governor, 

Captain Nathaniel Butler. The colony failed, ―extinguished‖ by the Spanish in 1641, but it nonetheless strengthened a 

strong English presence in the West Indies.

Documentation Register to Colonial Subjects * 

1819 - 1933 

Originally compiled for the internal use of the civil servants of the Ministry of the Colonies of the Netherlands, this 

register may be compared to a modern documentation journal. It provides access to everything from the secret 

archives of the Ministry, to selected Mail Reports, Consular Correspondence, selected statistics from the Statistical 

Archives, articles in scholarly journals on colonial subjects and learned books and conference proceedings in Dutch, 

English, French and German.

Images of East and West: Maps, Plans, Views and Drawings from 

Dutch Colonial Archives * 

1583 - 1963 

At the end of the 16 th century, Dutch seafarers and merchants burst onto the world stage with commercial and 

military operations that took them to the far corners of the globe. Within a relatively short time, the tiny country on 

the North Sea had acquired a far-flung ―seaborne empire‖ extending from the coasts of Western and South Africa to 

the Persian Gulf, South Asia and the islands of the Indonesian archipelago. The founding of the United Dutch East 

India Company (VOC) in 1602 was pivotal to this effort. From the beginning, the VOC realized the importance of 

accurate maps and plans of the areas under their control and the sea and coastal routes that gave access to these 

territories.

Index to Colonial Subjects in Dutch Newspapers * 

1843 - 1947 

Like its counterpart, this index in handwritten form was compiled by civil servants of the former Ministry of the 

Colonies of The Netherlands for the use of the Minister and his staff. Only one copy exists. From over 40 Dutch 

newspapers the articles on colonial subjects were selected and indexed, mainly concerning the Dutch East and West 

Indies, but also concerning other colonial powers and Asian nations. The index was kept annually and in this 

micropublication each year starts on a new microfiche, containing the key words from A-Z for that year. These 

alphabetically-ordered key words (in Dutch) are geographical names, personal names and subject terms and they 

refer to one-line descriptions of the contents of an article in a newspaper, with the date of publication.

The Ministry of the Colonies of The Netherlands in The Hague, which existed between 1814 and 1959, handled all 

colonial affairs for the Dutch East Indies and Dutch West Indies and maintained connections with the administrations 

of the colonial possessions of other countries and with the governments of China and Japan. This microfiche index

India Office Records: Home Miscellaneous Series 

1600 - 1900 

The process of international colonization and its effects - even centuries later - on the countries and peoples governed 

is one that is still debated in academic and public circles. And the British colonial model is the one most frequently 

used as a basis for these analyses. Researchers in Asian and Indian studies, British colonial history, political science, 

and diplomatic history find in this collection a wealth of resource materials to support studies of British business and 

military activities in India and Burma from 1600 through 1900. Selected from the India Office Records Library, the 

documents highlight the early trade of the famous East India Company, the role of the company in British empirebuilding, 

the Indian mutiny of 1858, and the subsequent period of crown sovereignty over Indian territory. India 

Office Records also contains historical information about the men who shaped the British Empire in Asia, including: 

 

 

 

Robert Clive, who became governor of Bengal in 1765 after securing the Bengal territory from 

the French and subjugating the native rulers 

Warren Hastings, who ruled as governor general of Bengal from 1772-1785, and who 

preserved the Indian empire despite threats by Marathas and the rival French forces 

Captain Henry Gurney, whose mission to Thailand opened Bangkok to Western traders 

The collection features detailed and revealing documents that record the economic and political processes of ruling 

an empire halfway around the world. Included are diaries kept during the Indian mutiny, records of sales and 

delivery of goods in London, registers of exports, the correspondence of the British Administration in the Punjab, and 

rich accounts of British military campaigns and trading expeditions.Libraries will find their students and researchers 

using this collection of materials extensively as it not only illuminates the British Empire in Asia, but also provides 

insight into Indian culture and history during this period.

Mail Reports (Mailrapporten) from the Netherlands East Indies * 

1869 - 1940 

With the opening of the Suez Canal, regular and reliable postal service between the East Indies and The Netherlands 

was available for the first time. These mail reports permit the study of colonial events in their continuity, unlike the 

Memories van Overgave (see below) which were snapshots of the situation at a particular point in time.

Memoranda of Conveyance (Memories van Overgave) of Officials of 

the Dutch East Indies * 

1849 - 1962 

Starting in 1849, the government of The Netherlands ordered all of their civil servants leaving office in the East Indies 

Colony to write a memorandum of conveyance for their successors, containing a careful review of political 

developments in the district concerned and also giving background details on places, persons and issues important 

for the successor to know about. This has served as an important reference source for historians and other students of 

Indonesia in the colonial period. These records constitute this collection.

Resolutions of the Heren Zeventien of the Dutch East India 

Company * 

1601 - 1796 

The resolutions of the Seventeen Gentlemen, the highest governing body of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), 

form one of the most important sources for knowledge abut the Company as an international business. The Heren 

Zeventien normally sat twice each year, during the periods in which ships arrived from or departed to Asia. Because 

the Heren Zeventien were the Company‘s highest governing body, their resolutions are in many cases a good starting 

point for research into the history of colonial/trade relations between the Dutch Republic and the area around the 

Indian Ocean, including such countries as Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, 

Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan, China and Japan.

Sources for the Study of Colonial Indonesia and Dutch Colonial 

Policy: From VOC to Colonial State * 

c.1700 - 1850 

By the end of the 17 th century, the Dutch had been involved in Indonesia for nearly 200 years and yet their presence 

there remained limited geographically and precarious politically. During the following century, however, they 

established the basis of a colonial state and initiated the expansion that brought almost the entire archipelago under 

their control by the first decade of the 20 th century. The archives of four prominent officials active during this period 

of expansion constitute this collection.

1940 - 1950 

At the end of WWII the independent Republic of Indonesia was proclaimed by Sukarno and Hatta, but the Dutch 

government - having held the colony for some 350 years - was unwilling to grant Indonesia independence. Thus 

began over four years of unrest and civil war, increasing intervention by the international community and finally the 

transfer of sovereignty to the Republic in 1949. Now many of the archives of leading figures and bodies on the Dutch 

side are being opened and this series makes such papers available on microfiche.

The Colonial Secretary’s Papers * 

1788 - 1825 

The Colonial Secretary of New South Wales was the main medium of communication between the Governor and the 

people and vice versa. These records therefore reflect all aspects of Colonial life in New South Wales. New South 

Wales was the founding colony of Australia and covered the whole of the eastern half of the Australian continent and 

Tasmania. That makes this collection of records an unparalleled source for Australian history. These Papers cover 

administration by the civil and military authorities, the granting and settlement of land, the operation of the convict 

system, the exploration of the interior and the coast, interaction with the Aboriginal population and the commercial 

and maritime developments of the Colony. The many petitions and memorials from settlers, emancipists and 

convicts provide a vivid picture of the life of the ordinary people in the Colony, as well as the more prominent 

historical figures. These papers, which constitute the largest and most comprehensive collection of public records 

relating to the early years of European settlement in Australia, were published as part of the New South Wales State 

Government‘s Departmental Programme for Australia‘s Bicentenary.

New South Wales Genealogical Research Kit 

1788 - 1900 

The Genealogical Research Kit consists of microform copies of the major series of New South Wales Records suitable 

for genealogical research. The Kit is based upon 35mm microfilm, supplemented wherever practicable by microfiche. 

It has as its foundation the records which document the arrival of Europeans in New South Wales, Australia from 

1788 to 1900, that is, the records recording the arrival of convicts, assisted immigrants and unassisted persons. To 

these are added records of births, deaths and marriages; of naturalizations; of the employment of public servants; of 

land grants; publican‘s licenses, depasturing licenses, electoral rolls; and a wealth of other material useful to family 

historians. In addition, many of these records have been indexed, so the Kit includes some volumes of printed 

indexes published by the Archives Authority and some references to indexes produced by outside organisations. 

Although specifically directed at genealogists, the Kit is of value to historians and researchers generally. The Kit has 

been published in four stages. Although each stage is useful in itself, the four stages do complement each other and 

together form an impressive array of research material.

The Leeds Mercury * 

1738 - 1939 

Leeds, England 

This paper, which maintained a high 

standard of journalism, had 

considerable influence especially in 

the late 19 th century. The political 

content of its editorials was 

particularly significant. In 1901, the 

paper appeared as the Leeds & 

Yorkshire Mercury and in 1939, it 

merged with the Yorkshire Post. 


The London Chronicle *† 

1757 - 1823 


Originally known as the Universal 

Evening Post, it ran for 67 years until 

its amalgamation with the London 

Paquet. It appeared 3 times weekly 

with a strong literary bias but also 

included foreign and home news, 

reviews and general articles. One 

prolific contributor was Boswell, 

who declared that it was the one 

paper Johnson saw.

London Gazette 

1665 - 1950 

Oxford & London, England 

First published in 1665, this is the 

oldest continuously-published 

newspaper in the United Kingdom. 

As the official newspaper of the 

Crown, it plays a role in Britain 

comparable to that of other national 

gazettes throughout the world. 

Taking its name from the seat of 

government, it originated as the 

Oxford Gazette when King Charles II 

held court in that city. After 23 

issues, both court and newspaper 

moved to London and the 

publication took its current title. By 

1801, with the development of a 

robust private press, it had taken on 

the role of recording Government 

news. The London Gazette contains 

a wide range of official notices, 

including State, Parliamentary and 

Ecclesiastical notices; Transport and 

Planning notices; and Corporate and 

Personal Insolvency notices. Many 

Gazette notices are statutory in 

nature and serve as an essential 

resource for legal researchers and 

practitioners.

During the Meiji Restoration, many 

people in Japan felt that the rapid 

pace of change was endangering 

traditional Japanese values. This was 

particularly true in the art world. 

The Nihon Bijutsu Kyokai was 

founded to stimulate and protect 

various forms of traditional art 

including painting, sculpture, 

architecture and crafts. Included in 

the organization‘s journal were 

regular bulletins, reports of 

exhibitions, reviews, research 

papers, lectures and other features.

Governor Thompson renamed it The 

African Herald. His successor 

restored the original title but

Governor MacCarthy as The Royal 

Gazette and Sierra Leone Advertiser, 

part official gazette and part 

provincial newspaper. Published 

two or three times a month, it lasted 

until 1827 when it was discontinued, 

an economy measure ordered by the 

Secretary of State.

UMI Dissertation Publishing 

Soon after its founding in 1938, ProQuest became the publisher of record for U.S. 

doctoral dissertations. To this day, ProQuest fills that role for graduate students whose 

dissertations and masters theses have been accepted by accredited institutions 

throughout North America. 

How UMI’s Dissertation Program Works 

Dissertations and theses available from ProQuest /UMI are used by researchers in all 

fields of study. The ProQuest /UMI dissertation product line – which consists of 

bibliographic data, indexing, access tools and the published documents themselves – is 

recognized worldwide because of its comprehensive coverage, high-quality information 

and rigorous editorial control. 

The online ProQuest Dissertation & Theses Database (PQDT) catalogs over 2 million 

doctoral dissertations and master‘s theses, dating from the first U.S. dissertation in 1861. 

Thousands more are added yearly. Over one million dissertations and theses are 

available in full page image in microform and paper, both bound and unbound. Many 

are also available in digital format, for downloading over the Web. Dissertations can be 

located and ordered on a standing order basis or via: 

 

 

 

 

ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, which provides searching capabilities and online access to 

citations and abstracts for every title in the database. Titles published since 1997 are available 

in .PDF digital format and have citation and abstract, plus 24 page previews available. 

Dissertations can be purchased in print, microfiche or .pdf format. 

ProQuest Dissertation Express for both individuals and libraries. If you have a specific title in 

mind, Dissertation Express will let you look it up by title, author or publication number. Once
