The Papers of Gouverneur Morris is pleased to announce that Rotunda, the University of Virginia Press’ digital imprint, has published the project’s first volume online (The Diaries of Gouverneur Morris: European Travels, 1794-1798) as part of the American Founding Era Collection. This volume went up at the same time as  Beatrix Davenport’s edition of Morris’s Paris diaries (1789-1793). The Paris diaries on the site include material that Davenport either left out or which was blotted over by Morris (to the extent that it could be recovered, which was limited).

This year marks the 200th anniversary year of Morris’s death. For more information on the Project, see http://www.gouverneurmorrispapers.com.
