Salem Witch Trials Legal Documents Project
You can stream it free, well worth the hour. I found it especially interesting when the author giving the presentation, Margo Burns, discussed the 'additions' to the historical account which were added at various times in history despite the fact said accounts were not in any of the original documents.

Salem Witch Trials Legal Documents Project Historian Margo Burns discussed primary sources from the Salem Witch Trials compiled in a book project titled Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt.

This presentation was part of an all-day seminar on the legacy of the Witch Trials.
