Textbook Collection

A collection of approximately 4,500 textbooks on all subjects, dating from the mid-18th century to the 1930s, falling into the following categories:

History
Geography
Social studies/civics/politics
Arithmetic
Algebra
French
Spanish
German
English composition and rhetoric
Readers and primers for young students or those learning to read
English grammar and spelling
Greek and Latin

The most straightforward way to browse the collection is by using the card catalog; however, many titles from the collection can be found in Josiah.

To find textbooks in a particular subject area, try a subject search; in the "subject" field, enter "textbooks" and a subject (the list above aren't necessarily the official subject headings). Alternatively, try keyword searches for words like "primer" and "grammar".
