The article explains plans to digitize Harvard’s Colonial collections, and it also discusses something called the Colonial Archives of North America (CANA) project—“an ambitious collective enterprise.” It is all very interesting.
For an example of a digital consortium relevant to Western States research, check out the Mountain West Digital Library. I love having access to so many libraries from one portal. I would love to know what portals for Western States research you have discovered. Please share!
