About the Coop

The purpose of the Primary Source Cooperative at the Massachusetts Historical Society (the Cooperative, MHS) is to publish online the work of editors who are preparing the content of archival and other manuscript records for scholarly and public access. Founded in 2018 with the support of a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives planning grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the Cooperative is a collaboration among the MHS, Northeastern University Library, and, at present, the four founding member editions. With the award of an implementation grant in 2020, the Cooperative is building the infrastructure devised during the planning grant and also pursuing its broader mission: contributing to and cultivating the rich and adaptive environment needed to improve the production of new editions and the growth and accessibility of documentary publishing.
