The Library of Congress American Memory Project has announced the second and final release of the Thomas Jefferson Papers (reviewed in the April 16, 1999 Scout Report). This second release "completes presentation of all nine series of the Thomas Jefferson Papers. They now include approximately twenty-seven thousand items organized into nine series with a total of 83,000 images." The papers may be searched by keyword or browsed by series. The largest of these, General Correspondence, comprises almost two-thirds of the total collection and includes "letters, memoranda, notes, drafts of documents, small maps, drawings, and designs." The documents are offered as large images with a link to an even larger JPEG file. Unfortunately, many documents are rather difficult to read owing to the ravages of time and the letterpress process Jefferson used to retain copies of outgoing correspondence, which blurred his pen strokes. In some cases, transcriptions are provided. Additional special presentations at the site include an interactive timeline of selected collection highlights with links to related documents, selected quotations, and an essay which reveals how the "Series 8, Virginia Records originally collected by Jefferson for their historical importance were rescued from disintegration."
