For various histories on Colonial New York, the rare books and
manuscripts that have been scanned and made available by Cornell's
Making of America series are wonderful. It will take some time to browse
the wealth of it, but it's a vast treasure. My own research on early
Long Island has been so enriched by it. Here's the site:

The books are capable of being searched by words and phrases. It's just
beautifully done. For any who might say the Internet has no worth for
historians, this proves that they are so, so wrong. Enjoy.
