The story of the American West has exerted a powerful influence over the psyche of the modern world, helping to fashion senses of national identity as well as permeating literary and cinematic culture. Tales of frontier life, of Native Americans and of vigilantes and outlaws are of constant interest, and are matched by more recent interest in the growth of urban centres, the environmental impact of westward expansion and of life in the borderlands.
This database is a unique resource which allows scholars to explore all of these areas and more through a dynamic mixture of original manuscripts, maps, ephemeral material and rare printed sources.
Access from on-campus locations only
