The Bethlehem Area Public Libary and the Reeves Library,Moravian College and Theological Seminary are pleased to announce the release of the Bethlehem Digital History Project.

The documents revealed in this site were selected to increase accessibility to specific primary source documents that illuminate key elements of the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania community from its founding in 1741 through 1844. It is the aim of this project to encourage broad or specialized exploration of local, regional and national history through the the use of materials on this site, the vast resources available at various institutions in Bethlehem, as well as the wide array of published works on the subject of Bethlehem's history.

As the project continues past this first year, additional materials will be developed and added to the site.
