George Perkins Marsh Online Research Center (at the UVM Center for Digital Initiatives)

When Man and Nature was published in 1864 it was immediately hailed as a major contribution to the field of physical geography. Its author, George Perkins Marsh, was one of the first to recognize and described in detail the significance of human action in transforming the natural world. The George Perkins Marsh Research Center provides access to transcriptions and images of selected letters in Marsh's correspondence.

Electronic Text Collections (currently not available)

Our first electronic text collection was housed on an SGML server funded by a grant from the DynaWeb Corp. These collections included volumes of the 19th century magazine, Godey's Lady's Book, as well as other historical documents. These collections may be redeveloped in future and housed at other locations.
