THE STORY OF MARTHA BALLARD, 18TH CENTURY MIDWIFE
http://www.dohistory.org/diary/about.html

Through Martha's diary we can learn a great deal about her life as a healer and midwife, mother and wife. We come to realize that Martha Ballard was a respected member of the community, depended upon by the inhabitants of Hallowell, Maine from 1785 until her death in 1812. Through her diary, we can also glimpse the lives of the town's other inhabitants--the ordinary people who are normally invisible to us when we look back into the past. Her diary enriches, deepens, and complicates our understanding of everyday life in early America.

These collections have been closely examined for women's history materials and detailed information was recorded about the manuscripts. In addition, the project has identified a surprising number of women's letters and diaries among eighteenth- and nineteenth-century business records.

http://www.virginia.edu/gwpapers/

The Papers of George Washington, a grant-funded project, was established in 1969 at the University of Virginia, under the joint auspices of the University and the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union, to publish a complete edition of Washington's correspondence. Letters written to Washington as well as letters and documents written by him will eventually be published in the complete edition that will consist of approximately 90 volumes.

Mount Vernon was home to George Washington for over 45 years. Here he made his life with his wife Martha, returned from war, retired from public life, practiced pioneering farming methods, and left an indelible stamp of his personality and private tastes.

EARLY AMERICAN PAINTINGS IN THE WORCESTER ART MUSEUM
http://www.worcesterart.org/Collection/Early_American/

Early American Paintings in the Worcester Art Museum includes biographies of twenty artists, detailed entries on fifty-three paintings, and checklist information on twenty-four additional works. Each of the seventy-seven works is illustrated. This catalogue encompasses all of the paintings in the museum's collection that were created prior to 1830 by artists who were either born or active in America, including works painted abroad by those artists.

This catalog is an unmatched source of information on American political prints. Today these period satires and cartoons enjoy an afterlife as material for study by historians and others who seek to understand the past. Viewers must bear in mind that they provide only an incomplete survey of American political ideologies of their time. Popular movements like nativism and temperance are sparsely represented in them, and the urban northeast and the views of its residents are far more heavily represented than the South or West. Studied in conjunction with the other contemporaneous documents, however, political prints can be valuable keys to the issues, values, and culture of the past.
