Salem Witch Trials: Internet Resources

The Salem Witch Trials Documentary Archive and Transcription Project consists of an electronic collection of primary source materials relating to the Salem witch trials of 1692 and a new transcription of the court records. The Documentary Archive is created under the supervision of Professor Benjamin C. Ray, University of Virginia. The Transcription project is supervised by Professor Bernard Rosenthal, University of Binghamton. Together with a team of scholars, Professor Rosenthal is undertaking a new transcription of the original court records, titled Records of
the Salem Witch-Hunt, to be published by Cambridge University Press.

Created and maintained by Douglas O. Linder of the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Law for his Famous Trials seminar, this site contains petitions, transcripts, select images, biographies, and many more items related to the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692.

The Salem Witch Museum provides an overview of the trials, FAQs, and an annotated list of sites associated with the Salem witchcraft hysteria.
