• The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents. These missionary texts are one of the major sources of information about the early years of French contact and colonization in North America; they describe aboriginal societies and economic, cultural, demographic, and religious impact of contact. This site contains the entire English translation of the original late 19th-century documents. Each file contains the total English contents of a single published volume.

• Kappler’s Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties. This site contains the fully searchable digitized text of all seven volumes from the original 1903–04 U.S Government Printing Office publication. Based at Oklahoma State University Library, these volumes contain U.S. government treaties with Native Americans from 1871–1970 as well as U.S. laws and executive orders. Information can be accessed from the table of contents, through the index of each volume, or by keyword search.

• Native American Constitution and Law Digitization Project. Housed at the University of Oklahoma Law Library, this project is a cooperative effort between the University of Oklahoma Law Center, the National Indian Law Library, and Native American tribes. The site provides access to constitutions, tribal codes, a digitized version of the Handbook of Federal Indian Law (1941) by Felix S. Cohen, documents of Indian land cessions, Indian Reorganization Act Era Constitutions and Charters, and many other resources for researchers of Native American legal issues.
