Law Library receives $133,400 grant to increase title collection

     The Law Library of the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University is pleased to announce the receipt of a $133,400 grant from the Felburn Foundation that will pay for the addition of The Making of Modern Law to the Library’s permanent collection.
     The Making of Modern Law brings together nearly 10 million pages of legal history from America and Britain. This archive—from one of the most important periods of legal development—is the world's most comprehensive full-text collection of Anglo-American legal treatises anywhere. It allows for full text searching of more than 21,000 works from casebooks, local practice manuals, form books, works for lay readers, pamphlets, letters, speeches, and more.
     “The addition of The Making of Modern Law is significant for students and faculty within the Campbell University School of Law. This electronic collection will greatly enhance scholarly research from among thousands of foundational U.S. and British legal documents,” said Melissa Essary, dean of the Campbell School of Law. “We are deeply grateful to the Felburn Foundation for their investment in this outstanding resource.”
     This significant electronic collection will more than double the size of the existing title count at the Campbell University School of Law. The collection will be made available to all faculty and students enrolled at the University.
     The improvement of libraries is one of the major focus areas of the Felburn Foundation. This is the third major gift to the libraries at Campbell University.
