A $3 million grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities will help fund the completion of ‘The Papers of James Monroe,’ a project of the James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library, which is administered by the University of Mary Washington.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A $3 million grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) will accelerate the completion of The Papers of James Monroe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The funding will allow the 10-volume series, an expansive resource on America\u2019s fifth president, to be completed early \u2013 in 2031, rather than 2035 as previously slated \u2013 in time to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Monroe\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The five-year grant was awarded under the NEH\u2019s Scholarly Editions in American History: Chairman\u2019s Special Initiative program. It will fund personnel and other expenses related to the completion of the final three volumes of The Papers of James Monroe <\/em>project, administered by the University of Mary Washington\u2019s James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library in historic Fredericksburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis transformative grant is a testament to the excellent work done by staff of The Papers of James Monroe<\/em> over more than three decades,\u201d said University Museums Executive Director Scott Harris. \u201cWe are grateful for the opportunity this presents to complete the project much sooner than would have been possible otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twice president of the United States, Monroe\u2019s career in government and diplomacy spanned five decades. He served as a U.S. senator; spent three terms in the Virginia House of Delegates; was minister (ambassador) to France and Great Britain and envoy to France and Spain; was elected governor of Virginia four times; and held the offices of secretary of both state and war. Monroe also was an officer in the Continental Army, member of the Confederation Congress and delegate to the Virginia convention to ratify the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n

Yet, much of what is known about him comes from scholarship on his political peers, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.<\/p>\n

\u201cViewed in the context of other people\u2019s lives, Monroe has been mistaken as a character of secondary importance,\u201d said Bob Karachuk, editor and project director of The Papers of James Monroe<\/em>. The publication, he said, gives scholars easier and broader access to Monroe\u2019s papers, \u201callowing them to assess Monroe in his own right and not as a mere adjunct to his contemporaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

About 600 documents \u2013 letters sent and received by Monroe, financial accounts and receipts, farm records, legal opinions, military orders, political writings and more \u2013 comprise each volume. They offer direct access to elusive original sources spread among more than 180 archives and libraries.<\/p>\n

Monroe\u2019s penmanship alone presents a challenge, Karachuk said. \u201cWhen researchers can<\/em> access Monroe manuscripts, they often struggle to read them. His handwriting \u2014 challenging at its best, mystifying at its worst \u2014 requires practice and patience to decipher.\u201d<\/p>\n

About 600 documents \u2013 letters sent and received by Monroe, financial accounts and receipts, farm records, legal opinions, military orders, political writings and more \u2013 comprise each of the 10 volumes of ‘The Papers of James Monroe.’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the publication of the first volume of The Papers of James Monroe<\/em>, he was belatedly added to the list of the nation\u2019s founders treated in modern documentary editions in 2003. \u201cThat Monroe belongs there appears evident when one considers the many offices that he held and the important events in which he was a central figure,\u201d said Karachuk, who completed a 68-page grant application.<\/p>\n

With seven volumes already finished, the new funding will expedite the final three in the series. NEH has been the primary funder of the project since 2011, including an August 2023 grant of $345,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The eighth and ninth volumes will cover Monroe\u2019s two presidential terms, from March 1817 to March 1825, and its landmark accomplishments, including the Monroe Doctrine. Volume 10 will explore the last half-dozen years of his life.<\/p>\n

The complete series will serve as a boon to researchers, Karachuk said. \u201cThe Papers of James Monroe<\/em> presents a broader, deeper and more representative documentation of the life and career of James Monroe than has been available until now.\u201d<\/p>\n
