AM Search

AM Search is a gateway to millions of pages of primary source content. AM’s (formerly known as Adam Matthew) collections provide access to digitized historical materials – manuscripts, government records, rare books, maps and more – across a wide range of disciplines, from History to English Literature, Gender Studies, Sociology, Economics, Area Studies, Political Sciences and more. Through AM’s search, all the AM primary source content that Northwestern University Libraries has access to can be viewed and searched in a single interface.
