Jefferson Weather Records is a digital archive that preserves and provides access to the weather and climate observations made by Thomas Jefferson during his lifetime. Hosted by the University of Virginia, the archive includes Jefferson’s daily weather logs, which span from 1776 to 1826, documenting temperature, precipitation, and other meteorological data.
Jefferson’s meticulous records offer a unique perspective on early American climate and weather patterns, as well as insights into his scientific interests and methods. The project serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying the history of American science, climate history, and Jefferson’s contributions to early American scholarship.
