Content added to Colonial America

Colonial America is a collection of digitized pre-1822 correspondence between the British government and American colonial governments. The contents of this collection have been rolled out in modules, and publisher Adam Matthew has just added Module IV. 

Module IV covers “the proceedings and legislation of the continental American Colonies, [enabling] intercolonial comparative research like no other resource. From a desktop, scholars can browse the journals of the assemblies, council deliberations, and legislative acts of the colonies from New Hampshire to Georgia. Add to that the correspondence of governors and generals, documents enclosed with letters such as accounts, depositions, maps, memorials, newspapers, pamphlets, petitions, and so on. We can follow the escalation in colonial protests, from the Stamp Act riots of 1765 to the dramatic historical turning points of the Boston Tea Party of 1773, and the onset of military hostilities eighteen months later.”
