The following is a list of slave letters in the Special Collections Library at Duke University. These letters vary in content and most have no supporting information about the author. They do provide a glimpse into the lives of people who fought the odds to express themselves. Additional collections held in Special Collections Library which document slave life are listed in Retrieving African-American Women's History. The descriptions of the letters are linked to catalog records of the larger collections of which they are a part in order to provide a fuller descriptive context.

The Ozarks Genealogical Society, Inc. (OGS) owns over 8000 books and hundreds of microfilm, microfiche, manuscripts and periodicals. Half of the collection is housed at the OGS library at 534 West Catalpa, Springfield, and the other half is located at the Springfield-Greene County Library Center, 4653 South Campbell, Springfield. The collection emphasizes the southwest area of Missouri and the areas east of Missouri where our ancestors originated. Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and Virginia are strongly emphasized. New England, the Middle Atlantic states and the Midwest are prominent in the collection. Our library books are now included in the online catalog of the Consortium of Ozarks Libraries website. The books housed at the OGS Library are listed under the Ozarks Genealogical Society. The books at the Library Center are listed in the Springfield-Greene County Library collection. Remember to search both listings!

Open Library is a project of the non-profit Internet Archive, and is funded in part by a grant from the California State Library. We have a small team of fantastic programmers who have accomplished a lot, but we can't do it alone! This is an Open project - the software is open, the data is open, the documentation is open, and the site is open. Now it's your turn! Everyone can participate in this project, whether you're a programmer who wants to build on top of this data, a librarian who wants to add records of digitized books to her local catalog, or a lover of books who wants to make sure his favorites are well represented. Follow the links below to find out more about participating, or just start browsing around and add some book information!

From site: "One web page for every book ever published. It's a lofty, but achievable, goal. To build it, we need hundreds of millions of book records, a brand new database infrastructure for handling huge amounts of dynamic information, a wiki interface, multi-language support, and people who are willing to contribute their time, effort, and book data. To date, we have gathered about 30 million records (20 million are available through the site now), and more are on the way. We have built the database infrastructure and the wiki interface, and you can search millions of book records, narrow results by facet, and search across the full text of 1 million scanned books.
