Conservation and Digitization of the Trials Pamphlet Collection at Cornell University Library. Barbara Eden, PI - submitted 5/21/10. A Save America's Treasures proposal to the National Park Service to conserve and digitize the 321 pamphlets in the Trials Pamphlet collection at the Cornell University Law Library. The pamphlets range in date from the late 1600s to the late 1800s. As a collection, these trial pamphlets are a unique resource that captures a formative period in American history from the early years of the republic, through the turmoil of the Civil War, to the emergence of the United States as a leading industrial nation in the late 1800s. Because cases were not officially reported on until the 1830s, the collection is one of the few ways to research trials from the 18th and early 19th centuries. If funded the project will ensure access to the original artifact at Cornell and provide free of charge worldwide access to the collection via the Internet.
