About this Collection

Nineteenth Century American Literature on Microcards

About
Consists of important American books of the nineteenth century that are not readily available in the original or in good modern reprints. The major emphasis is on literary works, but related materials of significance for the history of American 19th century culture are included. There are three series: The Ohio Valley (A), the South (B) and the Transmississippi West (C). The University Libraries own the Ohio Valley and South sets. While we do not hold the Transmississippi West collection, many of the same titles can be found in the Western Americana microfilm collection.
Some titles have individual records in OneSearch.
