The Papers of Andrew Jackson is a scholarly editing project to collect and publish the extant literary record of the seventh president. The project has conducted an exhaustive worldwide search for documents and produced a comprehensive microfilm with accompanying hardbound Guide and Index, now posted online. It is now publishing a 17-volume printed edition, the heart of which will be the eight presidential volumes. This grant will support completion of the third through fifth presidential volumes, Volumes 9 through 11 in the series, covering the years 1831 through 1833. Including many previously unknown documents, fully annotated and indexed, these volumes will provide an authoritative record of Jackson's presidency and advance scholarship on a broad range of related subjects. A contract has been signed to place the volumes online. |
