Electronic Publications Projects
The following URL's will lead you to Web sites maintained
by NHPRC-supported documentary editing projects. The grant number for the most recent grant to each project is provided in parentheses at the end of each project description or title. Two projects, the Lincoln Legal Papers and the Papers of the War Department, are solely electronic publications. The others are traditional publications projects that have created Web sites to provide online access to selected documents and/or that have contributed selections to the Model Editions Partnership. These sites can also be located through the NHPRC Web site at
http://www.archives.gov/grants/
funded_endorsed_projects/funded_endorsed_projects.html.
