Digital history: full text primary sources for historians
Princeton University Library owns or subscribes to a number of large digital collections
of primary sources. Many are based on microfilm collections which we also own. While this list
is not comprehensive, it is a guide to the digital collections most frequently used by history
students. To identify further resources, please check the resources listed under "history" at Articles & Databases: History, search the Main Catalog, or consult the History Librarian.
(For help with printing from these collections, see Printing for historical digital collections.)
