Hawthorne at Salem

Literary Career

You can now explore the Hawthorne in Salem Website.

Portrait of Nathaniel Hawthorne by Charles Osgood, 1840 (courtesy of the Peabody Essex Museum) The Hawthorne in Salem site at www.hawthorneinsalem.org  had to be removed from the internet because of security vulnerabilities.
            Some of the material from the site is  available on this lib guide. We hope to be able
            to expand this lib guide site to include more of the original Hawthorne in Salem
            material, but we may have to attempt to find another institution to host the site. If
            your institution is interested in hosting the site, please contact Terri Whitney at:
            twhitney@northshore.edu.
