Description
This collection includes Madison's correspondence (1723-1859), his autobiography (1751-1829), and material relating to the debates of the Continental Congress (1776-1788).
The Madison Papers are divided into six series, the bulk of which are arranged chronologically.
The Index to the James Madison Papers lists documents in the collection by proper name, date and series. The Index arranges items primarily by correspondent and then chronologically if a name is repeated. Some subject entries are used. The Reel List in the front of the Index indicates on which reel a particular series, date, or other information can be found. In order to retrieve material, one should consult the Index first and then the Reel List for the appropriate reel number.
