The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a year-long fellowship to Robert P. Forbes of the University of Connecticut to prepare an annotated digital edition of Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia. This will be the first edition to be published from Jefferson’s original manuscript, in the collection of the Massachusetts Historical Society. The project is being undertaken in conjunction with the MHS, as well as the Thomas Jefferson Papers, the International Center for Jefferson Studies, and scholars at the University of Virginia. Forbes is an alumnus of last summer’s Camp Edit at Charlottesville.
