Handwriting History collection:
The manuscript material provided here comes from the Library of Congress: The James Madison Papers: Subseries 5e, James Madison's Original Notes on Debates at the Federal Constitutional Convention, 1787, have been newly digitized at high resolution, 600 pixels/inch, thus providing a new clear view of the details of the manuscripts' erasures, emendations, and faded ink strokes.
The goal of this project is to sample Madison's work from the beginning section and to provide it as an example of American writing during its time.
