Read how Mark Logic helped to unlock history by providing the platform for electronically publishing The Dolley Madison Digital Edition, the first-ever complete publication of all of Dolley Payne Madison's correspondence.

The most important First Lady of the nineteenth century, Dolley Madison was a prolific letter writer. Her correspondence provides scholars, students, and anyone interested in American history a wonderful snapshot of the times surrounding the founding of the United States and life in early 19th century America.

When complete, The Dolley Madison Digital Edition will have involved the research, technical markup, and conversion of more than 2500 handwritten manuscripts, the vast majority of them previously unpublished in any form.
