The Plymouth Colony Archive Project presents a fully searchable collection
of original texts and analysis papers on the Plymouth Colony, 1620-1691. We
have just updated the site with an extensive array of historical maps,
topographic and demographic analyses, a plan of the fortified town in 1622
projected onto current USGS maps and aerial photos, and advance information
on the Deetzes' forthcoming book, entitled Times of Their Lives: Life,
Love, and Death in Plymouth Colony.
The updated version of the Plymouth Colony Archive Project is located at:
<http://www.people.virginia.edu/~jfd3a>.
An older version of the site is located in the collections of the
University of Virginia's Electronic Text Center, at:
<http://etext.virginia.edu/users/deetz/>.
The Plymouth Colony also includes: fully searchable texts of early laws,
court records, wills, and probates; analyses of the colony legal structure,
domestic relations, early settlement, criminal records, individual
biographical information derived from court records, indentured servants
and masters, and archaeological analysis of house plans and material
culture; fully searchable texts such as Mourt's Relation (1622) and Goode
Newes from New England (1624); and the previously unpublished "Vernacular
House Forms in Seventeenth Century Plymouth: An Analysis of Evidence from
the Plymouth Colony Room-by-Room Probate Inventories, 1633-1685," by Jim
and Trish Deetz.
The Plymouth Colony Archive has received awards for academic excellence and
has been selected as a featured link by The Study Web, AnthroTech Site
Reviews, The Library of Congress, National Council on Public History, The
Scout Report, ArchNet, About.com Guides, UCSB's Anthropology Web Sites,
Seeking Sites Afar, Education World, The Open Directory Project, and Surf
