The NHPRC supports Indiana University-Purdue University in publishing the Frederick Douglass Papers.
The NHPRC has supported the University of Iowa in the creation of the Walt Whitman Archive.
In 1934 Congress passed, and President Franklin Roosevelt signed, “An Act to establish a National Archives of the United States Government,” which also provides for a Historical Publications Commission to “make plans, estimates, and recommendations for such historical works and collections of sources as seem appropriate for publication and/or otherwise recording at the public expense.”
Three decades later, that program received its first appropriated funds, and since 1965, what is now known as the National Historical Publications and Records Commission has been funding projects that make historical works and collections of sources available through documentary editions, in print, microfilm, and digital versions.
This catalog is a descriptive list of those publication projects with links that will help users locate or access the materials.
