On-line publications of the Ames Foundation

The following digital publications (in many cases undertaken jointly with the Harvard Law School Library) do not, again for the most part, have complete metadata. We are working on it. The images are, however, in all cases, available for adventuresome souls who want to look at them and/or to try to find things in them on their own. In some cases, the metadata may be better than you expect.
