The Philippine Islands is a monumental 55-volume book by Emma Blair and James Alexander Robertson. It consists of primary source documents for Philippine history translated into English.
Electronic copies of the book in text format from Vol. I to Vol. 25 are available from Project Gutenberg, while scanned copies of the pages for the whole set are available from the University of Michigan Digital Library. (The UMDL service also allows you to extract the text.)
Since the UMDL does not have a general table of contents to all Blair and Robertson volumes, we provide them below.
Click on the particular volume to open the table of contents for that volume. The table of contents for each volume is linked to the correct pages on the UMDL website.
Please take note that we are not hosting the actual BR text itself. We would like to thank the University of Michigan for that.
