Through an expanded Renaissance Center subscription, UMass community members now have access to the Perdita Manuscripts. With reproductions of over 230 manuscripts written or compiled by women in the British Isles during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this collection includes account books, medical writings, sermon notes, travel writing and many other types of writing. You can browse by alphabetical listing, genre, date, language and more.
