The following projects were planned, researched,
and constructed by students at Assumption College as part of the E
Pluribus Unum Project. Each exhibit focuses on a specific issue
related to life in 1850's America, and is intended to provide resources
related to that issue for the use of other students, teachers, and
researchers.
We would like to thank the staff of the Assumption
College Library, the American Antiquarian Society, and the Worcester
Historical Museum for their assistance in constructing these research
projects. In addition to working in libraries and other local institutions,
students did extensive research on the web in order to produce these
exhibits.
