Welcome!

This is a special collection of British and Colonial North American sources, including the British West Indies, predominantly from 1750-1850, published mainly in microformat and limited digital format. Though the study of American Revolutionary War loyalists is the primary focus, the materials transcend beyond this to provide a range of sources for colonial studies in the British Atlantic World for the 18th and 19th centuries. Descriptions of these titles are found by searching or browsing the catalogue; whereas, access to our published material in print is found separately by clicking on the Print Materials link.

News: The Loyalist Collection has relocated in the Harriet Irving Library to the 5th Floor, Room 520 A.

Research appointments required to ensure staff assistance.
