Founded in 1923 at the University of Michigan, the William L. Clements Library holds collections of print and manuscript materials on the history of North America and the Caribbean, with particular strengths in 18th and 19th century American history.
Our mission is to collect and preserve primary sources, to make them available for research, and to support and encourage scholarly investigation of our nation’s past. Central to this is our belief that these materials should be available to students and the broader public for educational purposes through exhibits and programming.

Excellent talk.
this is really interesting! thank you for uploading these, I'm really glad I found this channel :)
I live in the SC-GA area. This was an excellent presentation.
I would have taken his class, absolutely! Thank you for a peek behind the scenes of the library.
Amazing! Thanks Jayne!
Why do you seem to have a problem with considering another person as your property? Do you mistakenly believe the act is a "sin", or do you recognize that slavery can be morally acceptable if properly practiced the way the Bible allows?
You think you said something great but what you really said was your opinion and whole lot of dumb 💩
🤢 BAN THE TRANSVESTITES 🤮
Your video is very beautiful. I like it a lot. I have been trying to talk to you for a long time. I am waiting for your response. Please give me a chance to talk to you📞👌
That Sara girl seems very interesting. Would be nice to get to know. I just did a video that held a section about women indentured servants. It's a part of history that isn't talked about. This channel you have here is awesome. It's a privilege to hear people talk about books they read, whatever perspective it comes from. so awesome. Thanks for making such a cool channel that host cool people
Took a history colloquium course on the American Revolution with Professor John Shy. and the course met at the Clements Library where we would have access to primary source materials. Professor Shy was one of the best professors I had in history at Michigan and his thoughtful and critical comments on writing history were appreciated. I wish I still had those papers but I did learn to write better from John Shy. Studying US history at Michigan was on an intellectual level that has informed every aspect of my life. It was an honor to major in history at Michigan and taught by John Shy, J Mills Thornton, Shaw Livermore, Ken Lockridge, Raymond Grew, Ray Van Dam and noted intellectual historian Stephen Tonsor. This lecture will spur me to re-read A People Numerous and Armed. GO BLUE!
I loved hearing from the students themselves about what the experience meant to them. A compelling story about the impact that a world-class research library can have on students and history itself!
This is fascinating! Thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Enjoy your time with your loved ones and most importantly, Be Safe!
Very nice and much appreciated!
What a great tribute to fine scholar, wise man and true patriot
