Subject: Source on 19th century American libraries
> I note in the November 1, 2004 issue of Library Journal (p.24) that a
> new Database of American Libraries Before 1876 is now available
> (www.princeton.edu/~davpro). The keyword-searchable database includes
> 10,000 libraries of various types in existence in the US before the last
> quarter of the 19th century. Library Journal notes that "Researchers can
> look up a library by name, get a list of libraries by city or state, or
> obtain, for example, a list of "ladies libraries."
>
> I checked it out and was amazed at the information included.
