The Seward Family Digital Archive is a comprehensive project led by the University of Rochester, aiming to digitize and make accessible the extensive correspondence, diaries, and other materials of William Henry Seward (1801–1872), a prominent 19th-century American politician who served as U.S. Secretary of State under Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. The archive offers insights into the political, social, and personal aspects of the Seward family’s experiences during a transformative period in American history. The project is a collaboration between historians, archivists, and students, and it serves as a valuable resource for researchers and educators interested in 19th-century American politics and society.
