| "California as I Saw It" contains searchable full-text digital versions of 190 publications of primary sources from nineteenth-century California. It was the first major project undertaken by the Library of Congress's massive National Digitization Library Program, the centerpiece of which is the magnificent American Memory Web site. "California as I Saw It" is enhanced by useful bibliographic material introducing each text, an overview of pre-twentieth-century California history, a large map, a reading list, descriptions of the collection, and a link to the library's excellent teaching resource, The Learning Page. |
