Rosalind J. Beiler’s research focuses on migration in the early modern Atlantic world. She is currently leading PRINT (People, Religion, Information Networks, and Travel), a digital humanities project funded by a NHPRC/National Archives Major Collaborative Archival Initiatives grant, which is creating a portal to 2,700 letters of religious minorities from five repositories in four countries and three languages. Her first book, Immigrant and Entrepreneur: The Atlantic World of Caspar Wistar, 1650-1750 (Penn State, 2008), examines cultural adaptation through one eighteenth-century German-speaking immigrant. She has held fellowships at the Charles Warren Center at Harvard, as a Senior Fulbright Scholar in Berlin, and at the Library Company of Philadelphia. She is co-editor of Early American Studies and earned her Ph.D. in History from the University of Pennsylvania (1994).
