Syracuse University Libraries

Syracuse University Libraries has acquired access to the entirety of Adam Matthew Digital’s online primary source archives and nine collections from Bloomsbury Digital Resources. These new holdings expand campus support for teaching and research across humanities, social sciences, architecture, visual and performing arts, and food, sport and exercise studies.

graphic with photosAdam Matthew Digital Archives comprises 71 themed collections of primary sources digitized from libraries and archives in North America, Europe and Australasia, such as the Amistad Research Center, the British Archives, UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive and the Folger Shakespeare Library. Study of gender, sexuality, Jewish life, civil rights, poverty and social change is covered through photographs, audio recordings of speeches, diaries, correspondence, historic newspapers, film clips and periodicals. Study of American consumer culture, food and popular medicine is supported by catalogues, print advertisements, posters, pamphlets, cookbooks and client lists. Collections from the “Confidential Print” and “Foreign Office Files” series are dedicated to British government papers from the 18th to 20th centuries, facilitating the detailed study of British foreign affairs, colonization and trade globally. A full list of Adam Matthew archival collections is available in the Libraries’ database menu.

Both Adam Matthew Publishing and the Libraries provide personalized curriculum support to faculty for teaching with primary source materials. Adam Matthew provides a free course alignment service, and you can contact your University subject librarian for assistance and recommendations for collections and items that fit your teaching and research needs. For researchers interested in digital humanities, Adam Matthew accepts text and data mining requests.
