Sourced from The National Archives UK, Colonial America offers access to thousands of documents on North America from 1606-1822. Described as an 'indispensable' resource for researchers of the early-modern Atlantic world and winner of Library Journal's 'Best Reference' Award, scholars and researchers have clamoured for access to this material for years.

FEATURING HANDWRITTEN TEXT RECOGNITION (HTR) FOR FULL-TEXT SEARCHING:

Colonial America offers transformative research possibilities with full-text searching across all manuscript documents using Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR).

HTR is a groundbreaking search technology utilising artificial intelligence to deliver document-level full-text search results in manuscript material. The HTR application uses complex algorithms and artificial intelligence to determine possible combinations of characters in handwritten documents. This enables relevant handwritten text to be identified at document level, allowing users to easily navigate between highlighted search results.
