General and commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and first president of the new United States of America, George Washington had far-reaching influence throughout the transition from separate colonies to one united country. The Papers of George Washington includes documents from his entire life in five separate series and his complete diaries, as well as the companion family papers, which currently includes the Papers of Martha Washington.

This digital edition offers the full content of all previously published print volumes in a single online publication. Forthcoming volumes will continue to be added following their completion by the Papers of George Washington editorial project.
