About

Margaret Bayard Smith Transcription Project
The Margaret Bayard Smith Digital Edition is a project to transcribe and annotate the more than 3,000 letters, diaries, and commonplace books, written by Smith during her lifetime (1778-1844). The manuscripts are owned by the Library of Congress and a handful of letters are held by other repositories throughout the United States. The project relies on the contributions of volunteer transcribers to help transcribe her lengthy and dense correspondence.
