In observance of George Washington’s Birthday, the Library invites you to join us for lunch and compelling discussion with a new full-time member of our staff, as she presents her work as Associate Editor of The Papers of George Washington. The Papers project was established in 1968 at the University of Virginia, and is working to publish comprehensive letterpress and digital editions of Washington's correspondence. Neal will describe how George Washington’s papers were preserved during his lifetime and what happened to these documents after his death. She will also explain the process of documentary editing, and will end by discussing the contents of the final volume of the Presidential series, spanning the last six months of Washington's presidency from 1 October 1796 to 3 March 1797, which she is currently editing.

This is an exclusive members-only event.
