Lizzie Lore

An excellent online resource for modern-day investigators of the still-open 1892 Borden hatchet murder case is the project developed by the University of Massachusetts/Amherst’s History Department and Center for Computer-Based Instructional Technology. It’s at http://ccbit.cs.umass.edu/lizzie/intro/home.html. The site contains primary as well as secondary sources, including Edmund Pearson’s 1937 The Trial of Lizzie Borden.

Among the thousands of other Lizzie-related Web sites, two others you may find especially interesting are The Hatchet: Journal of Lizzie Borden Studies (www.hatchetonline.com/HatchetOnline/index.htm) and the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast in Fall River, MA (www.lizzie-borden.com).
