American Archives: Documents of the American Revolution, 1774-1776
Beginning in 1837 the printer Peter Force, who also served as mayor of
Washington, D.C., devoted sixteen years to collecting thousands of
pamphlets, booklets, and newspaper articles pertaining to the "Origin,
Settlement, and Progress of the Colonies in North America" from the
Revolutionary Era in order to preserve them for future generations. He
published them in a set of nine large volumes that he called the
American Archives. By the late twentieth century Force's collection of
materials from the years 1774-6 had become a valuable scholarly
resource, as it contained the only surviving copies of many important
documents. But while a number of large research libraries around the
world held the American Archives in their collections, it remained an
underused resource. Scholars and students alike struggled with Force's
unwieldy index and complicated organization of the materials. In 2001
Northern Illinois University Libraries and Professor Allan Kulikoff of
the University of Georgia received grant funding from the National
Endowment for the Humanities to support the digitization of the American
Archives and their presentation in a free-use World Wide Web site. This
site will allow its users to use sophisticated search and
indexing software to explore Force's volumes. Professor Kulikoff has also
produced a thematic indexing scheme describing the contents of every
individual text in the American Archives collection. Together, these
tools will offer scholars, students, and lifetime learners with
unprecedented new access to these important primary source materials
from American history.

the Civil War, unusual occurrences and natural disasters to official
government proclamations, tax bills and town meeting reports. Featuring
many rare items, the pieces of ephemera include clipper ship sailing
cards, early trade cards, bill heads, theater and music programs, stock

American State Papers, 1789-1838
The American State Papers constitute rich primary source material on many aspects of early American history from 1789 to 1838. A retrospective republication of approximately 6280 numbered publications, largely Congressional but also containing Executive Department materials, the American State Paper volumes, issued from 1832-1861, were published in ten classes in a total of 38 folio volumes.
The classes into which the publications were assembled and printed and the number of volumes they occupy are: I: Foreign Relations in six volumes; II: Indian Affairs in two volumes; III: Finance in five volumes; IV: Commerce and Navigation in two volumes; V: Military Affairs in seven volumes; VI: Naval Affairs in four volumes; VII: Post-office Department in one volume; VIII: Public Lands in eight volumes; IX: Claims in one volume; and X: Miscellaneous in two volumes.
Unlike the U.S. Congressional Serial Set, the publications in the American
State Papers are not divided into reports and documents and do not include
House and Senate journals. Approximately two-thirds of the publications
cover the first 14 Congresses (1789-1817), whereas the remaining third
chronologically overlap with the Serial Set from 1817-1838.

Atlas of Historical County Boundaries
A project of the William M. Scholl Center for American History and Culture at The Newberry Library in Chicago, the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries is a powerful historical research and reference tool in electronic form. The Atlas presents in maps and text complete data about the creation and all subsequent changes (dated to the day) in the size, shape, and location of every county in the fifty United States and the District of Columbia. It also includes non-county areas, unsuccessful authorizations for new counties, changes in county names and organization, and the temporary attachments of non-county areas and unorganized counties to fully functioning counties. The principal sources for these data are the most authoritative available: the session laws of the colonies, territories, and states that created and changed the counties.

House and Senate Journals, Series I, 1789-1817
The original Journals of the Congress for the first 14 Congresses were printed in small numbers by non-government printers on contract. In the years after the burning of the Capitol by the British in the War of 1812, copies of those House and Senate Journals gradually became increasingly rare. So Congress authorized Gales & Seaton to reprint the Senate Journals for the first 14 Congresses in five volumes in 1820 and the House Journals in nine volumes in 1826.
The Readex digital House and Senate Journals, Series I of the first fourteen Congresses reproduces the original texts of these important works, not the reprints containing some textual differences, deliberate or inadvertent, from the originals.
In answer to the question of why these journals are not in the U.S.
Congressional Serial Set or the American State Papers, it need only be
pointed out that they antedate the Serial Set, which begins in 1817, and
that they were not again reprinted in the American State Papers because
Congress had only relatively recently authorized their reprinting as
stated above.

Senate Executive Journals, Series I, 1789-1866
The Executive Session Journal of the Senate is a record of its closed session deliberations, mostly on two principal topics: treaties and nominations. The journals were transcribed and kept in manuscript form and published many years after their creation.
The Executive Session Journals for the 1st through the 20th session, covering May 25, 1789 through February 12, 1829, were published in three volumes erroneously dated 1828. The next set of the Executive Session Journals was published in 1887 and covers 4-14 for the date range 1829 - 1866.
Readex's digital collection Senate Executive Journals, Series I covers
the time period of 1789 - 1866. Subsequent series, parallel to the
material found in the full Congressional Serial Set, are to be issued
throughout the remaining course of our digitization of the Serial Set.
The original publications were printed in limited numbers. From 1948
onward, for example, only 50 copies were printed. The Readex collection
of the Senate Executive Journals is being digitized from the holdings of
the United States Senate Library.
