James Madison Papers

While we are on a historical bent, for any of you Constitutional history buffs in the blogosphere, check out James Madison's Papers at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/madison_papers/
At this site, you can find digital images of his correspondence, personal notes and drafts of legislation.

James Madison came to be know as the "Father of the Constitution". He kept a daily record of the Constitutional Convention which has come to be known as Madison's Notes of Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787, and is considered an important source of legislative history for the Constitution.
