Digital Revolution

History buff Sid Lapidus '59 spent many years accumulating an incredible collection of books, pamphlets, and prints relating to the American Revolution. When his class celebrated its 50th Reunion in 2009, he shared the collection with Princeton by donating it to the University Library. Now the library is sharing much of it with the world--all the collection's holdings, including Thomas Paine's essay Common Sense, can be accessed online via the University's Digital Library: http://pudl.princeton.edu/collections/pudl0076
