The Plymouth Colony Archive Project has moved to a new address:
http://www.histarch.uiuc.edu/plymouth/

The Plymouth Colony Archive presents a collection of fully searchable texts, 
including: court records, colony laws, seventeenth century journals and 
memoirs, probate inventories, wills, town plans, maps, and fort plans; research 
and seminar analyses of numerous topics; biographical profiles of selected 
colonists; and architectural, archaeological and material culture studies. 
Among other works, published here for the first time are a "Glossary and Notes 
on Plymouth Colony," "Seventeenth Century Timber Framing," and "Vernacular 
House Forms in Seventeenth Century Plymouth Colony: An Analysis of 
Evidence from the Plymouth Colony Room-by-Room Probate Inventories 1633-
1685," by Patricia Scott Deetz and James Deetz. We also present studies 
focusing on broader regional and temporal scales, including Jim Deetz's 
analysis of changes over time in Anglo-American gravestone styles in New 
England, and discussion of the Parting Ways site and archaeological evidence 
found there of architectural forms and mortuary practices consistent with 
elements of African-American heritage. In addition, we present a number of 
tributes concerning the works of Prof. Deetz (1930-2000) in historical 
archaeology. 

We welcome all comments and suggestions of how we can better present the 
materials we have made available and what additional materials you would like 
to see added.

Thanks,
Chris
