  Below "Contents" you may use paths to filter materials by type. At present, the Digital Collection features 39 artworks, four books, 17 broadsides, 180 manuscripts, 27 newspaper and periodical issues, 71 pamphlets, and nine political cartoons. About half of the corpus is fully-transcribed, with new transcriptions being added on a regular basis. The manuscripts path includes sub-paths with which readers may filter for correspondence and diaries related to Conestoga Manor, Moravian missionaries, the Friendly Association, Timothy Horsfield, and Edward Shippen. Likewise, pamphlets includes a sub-path highlighting items for which we have digitized more than one edition (Multiple Editions).
  
  Finally, there are several tools you may use to search across the Digital Collection. You may perform a local search on the Index page. This page contains too many items for easy browsing; however, a local search will allow you to quickly filter items using keywords related to titles and descriptions. To search across metadata and transcriptions, use Scalar's global Search. By default, Scalar searches item names and descriptions; if you select all fields & metadata, Scalar will across the Digital Paxton corpus, which may require more time.
  
  At any point you may return to this or any other path using the Table of Contents, accessible from the menu in the top left corner of the screen.
