This resource is based on the microform collection of books, pamphlets and broadsides issued in America from 1801-1819, recorded in American Bibliography: A Preliminary Checklist for 1801-1819 by Ralph Shaw and Richard Shoemaker, including material on virtually every aspect of life in early 19th-century America. The database provides for simple and advanced searching, and for browsing by a variety of subject terms, genre, author, and printer/publisher. Searchable, OCR-generated ASCII text is associated with each page image. For earlier materials, see Early American Imprints, Series One (1639-1800).
