Transcription

Collected papers of Founding Fathers

The Founders Online website, launched on June 13, 2013, enables students, researchers, scholars, and the general public to read what the Founders wrote and debated in the years leading up to and following the nation's formation. The subjects they discussed between themselves and others ranged from public policies and democratic principles to slavery and the Constitution. The works available also provide insight into the Founders' friendships and personal lives.[1]

The website's collection is the result of a 50-year effort by scholars to locate, transcribe, annotate, and digitize 18th and 19th century documents held by archives worldwide. From these works, hundreds of individual volumes have been published that can also be accessed.[1][3]

The collection is derived from the letterpress editions of the Founders' original papers, which were drawn from the following sources:[5]

Besides the complete works of these individuals, Founders Online includes the selected papers of John Jay, first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.[5] Eventually, the website's collection is expected to exceed 200,000 documents.[2][6] The website is based at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

Funding

The website's editorial work is made possible through federal funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional major funding is provided by a wide range of foundations, corporations, and private individuals. Also sponsoring Founders Online's editorial projects are The University of Virginia, Princeton University, Massachusetts Historical Society, Columbia University. Yale University, American Philosophical Society, University of Chicago, and Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello.[7]
