About the Project



Project Team

This web project was designed and constructed by Amy Gant.

Amy completed her MA in history at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May, 2007, and this project is based upon her MA thesis, "'Beating a Path to Heaven': Nathanael Ranew and the Puritan Art of Divine Meditation in the Seventeenth Century".

Web hosting and production assistance are provided by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries and the UNL Center for Digital Research in the Humanities.

William G. Thomas III, John and Catherine Angle Professor in the Humanities, UNL Department of History, oversaw site development.

Further thanks go to Rena Becker, Caroline Funk, Susie Hall, Abby Henes, Brent Stark, Sarah Tripp, and Edward C. Wilde, Esq., who assisted in the transcription process for the Archive.
