The new semester begins on
Just in time for the new year, Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s Library Services has added two new databases to our online collection. HeinOnline, an organization that curates legal databases, offers two of its databases free to educational institutions.
The first of these is Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law, which brings together a large collection of legal statutes, historical pamphlets, and scholarly writings.
The second is Gun Regulation and Legislation in America, which brings together Supreme Court briefs, hearings, federal publications, and other sources.
Because these free databases do not come to us as part of a larger package, some of the scholarly articles they contain are not available in full text. Their bibliographic information, however, is still visible.
This HeinOnline collection brings together a multitude of essential legal materials on slavery in the United States and the English-speaking world. This includes every statute passed by every colony and state on slavery, every federal statute dealing with slavery, and all reported state and federal cases on slavery.
This new HeinOnline collection brings together more than 550 titles dealing with this difficult and important topic. Included are periodicals, key compiled federal legislative histories, relevant congressional hearings, CRS Reports, Supreme Court briefs, and more.
