New Library Resources

Ramsey Library has recently welcomed the transfer of the Early American Imprints collection on microfiche from Appalachian State University’s Belk Library. This collection is widely accepted as the definitive resource for primary source materials about life in 17th and 18th century America.

The collection includes books, pamphlets, presidential letters, government reports and other materials published between 1639 and 1819.
Series I is based on Charles Evans’ American Bibliography and Roger Bristol’s Supplement to Evans’ American Bibliography. This series covers 1639-1800. Series II is based on Ralph B. Shaw and Richard H. Shoemaker’s American Bibliography, 1801-1819.
Early American Imprints can be found in the microforms section on the ground floor of Ramsey Library.
