About Us
Accessible Archives was founded in 1990 with the goal of utilizing computer technology to make available vast quantities of archived historical information, previously furnished only on microfilm. In pursuit of this vision, primary
source material has been selected to reflect a broad view of the times, and has been assembled into databases with a strict attention to detail allowing access to specific information with pinpoint
accuracy. Our ON-LINE full text search capability and digital imaging
permits the user to search and manipulate information in ways never before possible.
This approach has been highly acclaimed and Accessible Archives` titles are now in use by universities,
primary/middle/secondary schools and research libraries throughout the world. Titles will continue to be added, covering important topics and time periods
for scholars and students of all academic levels.
Developed by dedicated instructors and students of American history, Accessible Archives
DATABASES contain the rich, comprehensive material found in leading historic
periodicals and books. Eyewitness accounts of historical events, vivid descriptions of daily life, editorial observations, commerce as seen through
advertisements and genealogical records are now available in a user-friendly
ON-LINE environment.
These databases are encyclopedic in scope and allow full Boolean, group name, string and truncated searches.
Transcribed individual entries are complete with full bibliographic citations and are organized chronologically.
NO OTHER MEDIUM CAN SO IMMERSE THE USER IN THE EXPERIENCE OF A MOMENT IN TIME, OR PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE COURSE OF AMERICAN HISTORY.
THE HORIZONS FOR RESEARCH AND INTERPRETATION ARE LIMITED ONLY BY THE UNIVERSE OF THE DATABASE AND THE READER`S IMAGINATION.
