Pamphlets in American History
LIBRARY WEST, Microform Area
E 178 .P34
A microfiche collection of almost 16,000 pamphlets. While all periods of U.S. history up to the 1970s are represented, most documents were issued between 1820 and 1970.
The pamphlet is a “democratic medium”: practically anyone could publish a pamphlet, and these documents are often the venue of social protest, lobbying efforts, new political doctrines, and the cause celebre. Well-known documents are represented, as well as previously neglected sources, thereby providing a balanced view of the diverse opinions and concerns of the American people.
The types of pamphlets in the collection include campaign literature, memoirs, personal narratives, published letters, travel accounts, eulogies, commemorative addresses, sermons, obituaries, biographies, autobiographies, published diaries, journals, speeches, legal decisions, trade-union leaflets.
