New-York Colonization Journal

The New-York Colonization Journal was the official organ of the New York State Colonization Society. John Brooke Pinney, missionary and former governor of the colony of Liberia, served as editor beginning in December 1850. The paper included some original content in addition to lengthy excerpts from contemporary publications. Reprinted material from rare newspapers, such as the Liberia Advocate and Liberia Herald, makes this journal a valuable source of information on a variety of topics.
