> The Harvard Law School Library proudly announces the launch of a new
> digital collection highlighting its extensive holdings of crime
> broadsides. It can be viewed at http://broadsides.law.harvard.edu
>
> Just as programs are sold at sporting events today, broadsides--styled
> at the time as "Last Dying Speeches" or "Bloody Murders"--were sold to
> the audience that gathered to witness public executions in eighteenth-
> and nineteenth-century Britain. The Library's collection of more than
> 500 of these broadsides is one of the largest recorded and, to our
> knowledge, the first to be digitized in its entirety. The examples
> digitized span the years 1707 to 1891 and include accounts of such
> crimes as arson, assault, counterfeiting, horse stealing, murder, rape,
> robbery, and treason.
>
> Conservation (by the Weissman Preservation Center) and digitization (by
> HCL's Digital Imaging Group) of the broadsides was made possible by a
> generous grant from the Peck Stacpoole Foundation.
