| Description: |
The Papers of John Jay is an image database and indexing tool comprising some 13,000 documents (more than 30,000 page images) scanned chiefly from photocopies of original documents. Most of the source material was assembled by Columbia University's John Jay publication project staff during the 1960s and 1970s under the direction of the late Professor Richard B. Morris. The two-year "Papers of John Jay" project, funded by a $150,000 grant from NEH and supplementary contributions from the Florence Gould Foundation and the Columbia Libraries' Friends fund, was completed in April 2003. It provides an online index to all known documents written by or to John Jay, 1745-1829, one of America's 'founding fathers,' a distinguished statesman and a graduate of Columbia, the King's College. The project includes the creation of a searchable database of descriptive metadata--including abstracts--at the item level for all of the approximately 13,400 unique letters, memos, diaries, etc. in the collection. Page images will be scanned as 8-bit grayscale TIFFs at 300 dpi and linked to the metadata records. |
