Early Encounters in North America

 Thanks to a generous gift from Janice Cronin, MHC '81, we are delighted to provide a new electronic resource entitled Early Encounters in North America: Peoples, Culture and the Environment (EENA).  This database from Alexander Street Press documents the relationships among peoples in North America from 1534 to 1850 drawing on published and unpublished sources, including narratives, diaries, journals and letters.  The collection includes "works by American Indians, Canadian First Peoples, and many European groups, capturing first impressions, hundreds of years of observations of flora and fauna, descriptions of encounters with indigenous peoples, and new language elements as they evolved."

We are most grateful to Ms. Cronin for this generous gift in honor of her 25th Reunion.
