The Rise of Israel is a documentary record from the Nineteenth Century to 1948, a facsimile series reproducing over 1,900 documents in 39 volumes.  Each volume has an introduction prepared by the editor of that volume.  The general editor of the series was Howard Sachar.  As of December, 2020, 18 of the 39 volumes have been made available on archive.org, with the option of borrowing each volume for up to 14 days.  This is a rich resource for those who are inclined to study original historical documents, not just accounts by historians and others.
