Founding Fathers
Collections of personal papers that provide researchers with insight into both the private and public lives of historical
figures are always popular because of the balance they provide to other historical accounts. Now, more than 8,000
pages of letters and other documents from the most important figures in early U.S. history are available to students
through this microfiche collection. The collection is drawn from materials at the renowned Morristown (New Jersey)
National Historical Park and the Dawes Library at Marietta College (Ohio). All signers of the Declaration of
Independence are represented, as well as other important figures. Martha Washington, Patrick Henry, John Paul
Jones, Dolly Madison, James Madison, Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Aaron Burr are
among those whose writings are included. Students and researchers will benefit from such pieces as John Adams‘
letter to John Taylor explaining his views on the American system of government and our system of checks and
balances. Political treatises like this are balanced with rare personal glimpses, such as Benjamin Franklin‘s letters
describing his religious beliefs. Students of Revolutionary War history will find particularly interesting the large
sections on George Washington and the United States Army.

of English social, political, and economic history. It is also a significant resource for local history and genealogy. This
unique collection of 24 manuscripts include armorials of English, Scottish, French, German, Italian, Dutch,
Portuguese, and Spanish families, together with pedigrees of many noble European families.
