New database trial
Proquest Civil War Era: This digital collection provides access to nearly 2,000 pamphlets and complete runs of eight newspaper titles, covering the period 1840 to 1865. These primary source documents span the entire era – from Manifest Destiny through the end of the Civil War – enabling researchers to investigate not only the battles but also the rising tensions that led the country to war. Send comments to Ann Kenne. The trial ends Friday, April 24.
Database trials also can be accessed from the UST Libraries Web page.
