Welcome to the ASLH-hosted group for sharing archival materials and/or tips about digitized sources related to legal history. We hope this page will be a helpful resource for remote research during the pandemic. We also welcome discussion threads about online teaching of legal history.

We ask that group members please adhere to the following guidelines:

When posting a new thread, write clear descriptive subject headings. Please consider using brackets to tag whether you are [Sharing] or [Seeking] documents, or posting a [Question], or starting a thread about some aspect of [Teaching].
Please be specific about any records you are seeking or sharing in the body of your post. You can also add up to three tags to your post to indicate the general themes of the material.
If you choose to share documents described in a post with other researchers, you will be responsible for exchanging materials through your own cloud storage or file sharing services. Please do not post public links to uploaded materials unless you have the explicit permission of the archive.

Please remember that those who offer to share items here take responsibility for ensuring they have the proper rights and permissions to do so. In addition to ensuring that documents are shareable under copyright law (See this helpful overview chart of what is and is not in Copyright in the U.S.), those using this forum should ensure that the archive, library, or collection from which they obtained documents has a permissive policy on further reproduction for research use. Many academic research institutions in the U.S. and abroad now waive all need for researchers to seek permission to reproduce or share public domain materials.
