Sabin Americana: History of the Americas, 1500–1926

Access on and off campus.

In 1868, Joseph Sabin produced a prospectus for his famous bibliography of monograph works about the "Americas", and Bibliotheca Americana was produced over the course of nearly 60 years. This archive reaches into all aspects of American history and culture. It touches upon the political and religious life in North America and at times South America and the Caribbean. It features American and European views of the colonization of the Americas, the American Revolution, the days of the early Republic and Jacksonian period, the antebellum period, Civil War, era of Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction, the settlement of the West and the onset of the Gilded Age. Through published pamphlets, tracts, memoirs, congressional legislation, correspondence, broadsides, biographies, histories, fiction and poetry, eulogies, sermons and innumerable other genres, Sabin opens a window onto the Americas through which few get to glimpse.
