The Selected Papers of John Jay
A free searchable database of Jay's papers is available through Founders Online, a website maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration that also includes the writings and letters of Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton.[4][5] In October 2010, the National Archives and University of Virginia Press announced their intention to create Founders Online, a public access website devoted to the writings of the Founding Fathers.[6] The website went online in October 2013, providing free access to the complete record of six founders, plus a limited number of Jay's papers.[1] Founders Online also includes the annotated writings and correspondence of Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington in a searchable database of 185,000 individual documents drawn from the letterpress editions of the founders' papers.[6] In 2021, as Columbia's John Jay project reached completion, editors of the project together with Columbia University Libraries and the university's Office of the Provost hosted a two-day symposium featuring the research of numerous scholars with a keynote address by historian Joanne B.
