Resources by Geographic Area

Guides to collections material relating to the history of geographic areas.

The resources below provide information about manuscripts and print material in the collections which are relavant to specific geographic areas. They are a diverse collection of resources which have been scanned from previous library guides. You will also find reference to publications which include listings from the CRC collections which cannot be scanned but can be found in the library.  We will be working on updating these with more recent acquisitions. Unfortunately, most of them are not currently searchable due to their original format.
