Papers of Thomas Jefferson

The Papers of Thomas Jefferson is a projected 60-volume series containing not only the 18,000 letters written by Jefferson but also, in full or in summary, the more than 25,000 letters written to him. Including documents of historical significance as well as private notes not closely examined until their publication in the Papers, this series is an unmatched source of scholarship on the nation's third president.

When the Jefferson Papers project began in the late 1940s, a historically appropriate typeface--dating back to the early 1800s--was revived for it and rechristened "Monticello." The arrival of computerized typesetting a half-century later necessitated its conversion to digital format, which was commissioned by Princeton University Press and accomplished by Matthew Carter in 2003. For an account of this unusually enduring typeface, see Printing History, the Journal of the American Printing History Association.
