We subscribe to several digital collections of diaries and letters. Some of these are scanned images and some are typed transcripts from the original source material.
These collections of images include photographs, videos, sound recordings, maps, and art. Images can give you a great sense of a particular time in history. You may even find recordings of authors reading their works.
