The Papers of James Madison
Preparation of volumes 1 and 2 in the Retirement Series; preparation of volumes 9 and 10 in the Secretary of State Series; and preparation of volume 7 in the Presidential Series. (24 months)
The purpose of the project is to assemble and edit for publication the complete papers and recorded actions of James Madison. This project proposes work on The Secretary of State Series and The Presidential Series. In order to understand the significance of Madison's still largely undocumented contribution to the development of the nation and its government in the early nineteenth century, it is essential that the modern edition of Madison's papers, especially those that relate to his career as Thomas Jefferson's secretary of state, 1801-9, and to his own presidential administrations, 1809-17, be completed.
