Federalist Papers now in Chronicling America

“The Library of Congress regularly receives digitized newspapers from contributors to the National Digital Newspaper Program. Digitized newspapers are delivered in the form of batches, where each batch can contain one to many issues, from one or more newspaper titles. Recently loaded batches can be discovered on the Chronicling America Research Guide.

One of the exciting additions from the Library’s collections are titles from New York: Daily Advertiser; Political, Historical, and Commercial (1787), Daily Advertiser (1787), Independent Journal, or the General Advertiser (1787-1788), New-York Journal, and Weekly Register (1787), New-York Journal, and Daily Patriotic Register (1787-1788), New-York Journal, and Weekly Register (1788), and New-York Packet (1787-1788). These newspapers printed the Federalist Papers, a collection of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, under the pseudonym “Publius,” lobbying for the adoption of the Constitution over the Articles of the Confederation…”
