National Historical Publications and Records Commission

The NHPRC, through a grant to Documents Compass at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, is pleased to announce 5,000 previously unpublished documents from our nation's founders are now online through Rotunda, the digital imprint of The University of Virginia Press. The ROTUNDA Founders Early Access project makes available for the first time letters and other papers penned by important figures such as James Madison, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. The Founders Early Access portion of the site allows users to read, search, and browse the transcribed documents, and is available at no cost to users.
