JOHN HARVARD LIBRARY  

The John Harvard Library offers a collection of over 70 titles in American history and culture, ranging from the colonial era to the early 20th century. The first volume was published in 1960, and most of the library followed quickly throughout the 1960s. Each volume contains one or more primary sources written by leading American figures and was edited, with an introduction, by a distinguished scholar. Harvard University Press has begun reissuing the series in print and has arranged the electronic distribution for many of the volumes through HEB. The list below is partial and will be supplemented and hyperlinked as titles become available.

The titles in this series are designated by their series logo.
