Description

Law
Summary
"The Collection begins in 1929 with the APA's first predecessors: bills to regulate administrative procedure that were introduced in Congress but never enacted. The database's coverage expands in 1933, tracking heightened interest in administrative reform following President Roosevelt's first inauguration and spurred on by the New Deal expansion of the federal administrative apparatus. The database includes a comprehensive legislative history of the Walter-Logan Bill of 1940, which Congress approved but President Roosevelt vetoed, as well as later bills that culminated in the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 (APA). Includes an interactive timeline that allows users to page through the history of the Act's passage, see the people who played a role in crafting the law, and identify the historical events that shaped their thinking"-- Publisher's libguide

The primary sources intended for inclusion will be broad-based across time, geography, and political viewpoint -- from the conservative to the anarchist. In the interest of sensitivity toward the privacy of activists on the streets and in organizing communities today, the collection does not depict contemporary protests"--Home page

Summary
"The National Neighborhood Data Archive (NaNDA) is a publicly available data archive containing contextual measures for locations across the United States. NaNDA offers theoretically derived, spatially referenced, nationwide measures of the physical and social environment. Each NaNDA dataset represents a set of measures on a single topic of interest. Examples of topics to be found in NaNDA (now or in the future) include socioeconomic disadvantage and affluence, walkability, crime, land use, recreational centers, libraries, fast food, climate, healthcare, housing, public transit, and more. Measures are available at multiple levels of spatial scale, from county to census tract to block group. New measures and spatial scales are added regularly. Anyone with research questions that address "place" - researchers, students, clinicians, policy makers, public health departments, and community organizations, among others - can download NaNDA contextual measures and link them with other data sources (such as survey data, cohort studies, electronic medical records, or other microdata). NaNDA is administered by the Social Environment and Health program at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. Funding for NaNDA comes from the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research."

The AAS Historical Periodicals Collection contains more than 6,500 historical periodical titles dating from 1691 to 1877, arranged into five series. The collection represents over two centuries of print culture, ranging from early works imported by the colonists to later titles published on American soil on the eve of the Revolution and during the early republic. Subjects covered in the collection reach into every facet of American life, including science, literature, medicine, agriculture, women's fashion, family life, and religion. The five series can be searched simultaneously or individually. Series 1 covers 1691 through 1820. Series 2 includes 1000 titles from 1821 through 1837. The 1,700 titles in Series 3 date from 1838 through 1852, and document a growing young nation, where industrialization, the railroads, regional political differences, and life on the western frontier were daily realities. Series 4 contains 1,100 titles from 1853 to 1965, documenting the Civil War and daily life before and during the war. Series 5, with 2,500 titles from 1866 through 1877, documents life in a nation that persevered through a civil war; the incorporation of the recently-freed African Americans into American life; and a population that rapidly expanded into the Western territories.
