Documents include correspondence, letterbooks, diaries, journals, books, military records, and reports and notes Washington accumulated between 1741 and 1799. The materials reflect Washington's wide range of interests and activities, including his service as a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, his command of the Revolutionary Army, and his service as the first President. Additional resources include a timeline, essays about the papers, and a select bibliography.
