The World of James Monroe Online brings together the correspondence of James Monroe from multiple repositories with the goal of providing free access to high resolution scans of original documents in conjunction with fully searchable transcriptions. Currently, we are proud to feature contributions from three Virginia-based institutions: William & Mary, the University of Virginia, and the University of Mary Washington. Contributions from additional institutions will enable future expansion of the WJMO initiative.
