More Libraries of Early America

I'm more than delighted to report that the response to our Libraries of Early America project announcement on has been uniformly positive and extremely fruitful. I've added several suggestions so far to the Collections to be Added page, and still have a few more to enter there (including some really interesting libraries from the western part of that country at that time - i.e. Michigan).

I took a short break from Franklin this week and entered one of the newly-suggested collections, that of Lewis Morris (1726-1798), a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. His books are now at the Yale Law School library.

Many more to come, but keep the suggestions rolling in!
