James Monroe Project

 

The James Monroe Project consists of over 300 manuscripts, chiefly correspondence, written and received by James Monroe (1758-1831) and his family. The project brings together Monroe materials from six distinct collections held by William & Mary Libraries Special Collections Research Center.

Ranging from 1776-1924, the materials include the correspondence of James Monroe during his many years of public service, an exchange between Monroe and his nephew James Monroe (1799-1840) at West Point, letters to US Secretary of the Treasury William H. Crawford, and correspondence between James Monroe’s daughter, Eliza Kortright Monroe Hay (1787-1840), and Hay’s daughter, Hortensia M. Rogers.
