The Early American Imprint collection is divided into two series, Early American Imprints -- Evans (1639-1800) and Shaw-Shoemaker (1801-1819). This microform collections include virtually every non-serial title published in America between 1639 and 1819. Subject areas covered are history, literature, law, science, political science, music, theology, American studies and journalism. The Shaw-Shoemaker, or Second Series, follows the sequential numbering system of the American Bibliography: a preliminary checklist for 1801-1819 . In addition to books, broadsides, and pamphlets, the collection includes many published reports, presidential letters and messages, Congressional, state and territorial resolutions, and the works of European authors, which were reprinted at the time for the American public.
