The database "Travel Writing, Spectacle and World History" contains travel reports and travel diaries of American women of the 19th and 20th century from the Schlesinger Library (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University). Among the sources, there are eyewitness reports of historical events, insights into the lives of travelling women, descriptions of visited cities, cultures or customs. At the same time, the documents describe the development of the modern tourism industry.
