Boston Public Library
For a limited time only, the Boston Public Library is offering Massachusetts residents to apply for a temporary BPL library card online. This gives you access to all of their databases which I urge you to explore.
The two that fill my heart with song are the New York Times Archives and Jstor. Jstor offers full-text access to nearly 600 core scholarly journals covering 44 specialized subject areas. Complete back runs of many titles available. The card is only good for six months, but if you are willing to go all the very far way to Boston, you can get an actual card that will be yours forever and allow you this research bounty until your dying breath.
Beverly Public Library also has American Periodicals Series Online, a primary resources database for American History that is accessible from home via their website. And OF COURSE you already have a library card for there! If you are not a Bevelry resident you can use the school's card number. It is hanging over the library computers. Make sure to urge your students to get a Beverly library card of their own.
