Preparation for publication of three volumes of documents concerning the ratification of the United States Constitution in Maryland, South Carolina, and New Hampshire. (36 months)

Thousands of libraries, historical societies, government offices, private collections and all newspapers, books, pamphlets, and broadsides of the period 1787 to 1791 have been searched for documents relating to the adoption of the Constitution of 1787 and the drafting and adoption of the Bill of Rights. These documents are arranged and edited for publication in book form. All documents in the volumes and all supplemental documents not included in the volumes will be placed online with the University of Virginia Press' Rotunda. Twenty volumes of an anticipated twenty-nine volumes have been published. During this grant cycle the volumes containing ratification by Maryland and South Carolina will be published and progress will be made on the volume containing New Hampshire's ratification.
