The Washington Papers

The Washington Papers, formerly known as The Papers of George Washington, has been working to publish comprehensive letterpress and digital editions of Washington's correspondence since 1968. Established at the University of Virginia, this vast repository of quality material has enormous potential for teaching, learning, and creating that has just begun to be explored. As part of our goal of connecting Washington with teachers, students, scholars, and the curious, we are bringing these incredible documents to life through a series of short films. The films reveal fascinating glimpses into Washington's life and times, and represent just a small sample of the treasures that can be discovered when exploring the documents he left behind.
