Erica B Mitchell is a Research Assitant working on the Papers of George Washington project.

The Papers of George Washington is a documentary editing project at the University of Virginia that has been engaged since 1968 in publishing a comprehensive edition of Washington’s correspondence.  Letters written to Washington as well as letters and documents written by him are being published in our volumes.  In order to take advantage of recent acquisitions and new archival technology, we are currently conducting a document search to update our holdings. If you have any Washington-related manuscript material, including correspondence, notes, financial documents, items written on his behalf, deeds, etc., please contact our office. 

These documents are vital to the success of our project, and we would be very grateful to your institution for helping us in this process. We have contacted most institutions that have provided documents to us in the past, but we would like to reach out to institutions or private owners that may have Washington material they have never shared with us.  If you would like more information about the Papers of George Washington, please visit our website at http://gwpapers.virginia.edu.  If you have Washington-related manuscript material, please contact our office by e-mail at gwpapers@virginia.edu, by phone at (434) 924- 3569, or by mail at:
