Sunk in Lucre's Sordid Charms: South Sea Bubble Resources in
the Kress (Collection at Baker Library)
http://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/ssb/
The very name "South Sea Bubble" conjures an image of a marauding marine
monster seeking to prey on unsuspecting spice traders and thieving
pirates. Actually, the South Sea Bubble refers to a "complex network of
intersecting financial, legal, political, and cultural factors" which
contributed to the "bubble" in question. This bubble led to the total
collapse of the South Sea Company in 1720, which led to a massive series
of financial catastrophes. Visitors can click on the "What is the South
Sea Bubble?" to learn a bit more about the basic outline of the history
of this financial collapse and then move to the actual collection of
items: topical lists divide into headings such as "Commerce and Trade",
"Government and Politics", "Crime and Law", and "Finance". Each contains
complete bibliographical information, and visitors can also click on the
"List All Digital Content" link to find the items that are currently
available directly through this site. A "Project Overview" provides a
brief sketch of how this collection was created.
