North American Women's Letters and Diaries  includes the immediate experiences of 1,325 women and 150,000 pages of diaries and letters.   Particular care has been taken to index this material so that it can be searched more thoroughly than ever before.

The materials have been carefully chosen using leading bibliographies, supplemented by customer requests and more than 7,000 pages of previously unpublished material. The collection also includes biographies and an extensive annotated bibliography of the sources in the database.

We have recently upgraded the PhiloLogic software used by North American Women's Letters and Diaries, enhancing performance and giving the collection a fresh new look. We have improved the search engine for better performance and introduced new toolbar navigation for easier browsing, but all other functionality of the collection remains the same. See the upgraded version of the database.

This version of the collection will remain active until August 31, 2008. After that time, any bookmarks or links you have into any page of the database will automatically redirect to the correct page in this upgrade, but you will need to note the new location and update your bookmarks accordingly.
