"Consource provides access to roughly 1,100 of this country's most important founding documents from more than 90 archives across the eastern seaboard. Several important collections are currently available, including James Madison's notes on the Constitutional Convention, the Federalist Papers, and the Bill of Rights' legislative history. More documents will become available on the site throughout the year. For instance, George Washington's private and public correspondence is expected by December.
