Adams Papers

Adams Papers,
archives of the Adams family, housed in the Massachusetts Historical Society, originally made available to scholars in a microfilm collection. A letterpress edition being prepared under the editorship of Lyman Henry Butterfield draws also upon public and private collections for its selective but scholarly gathering of documents. Series I contains the diaries of the Adams family statesmen, 1755–1880; Series II deals with the family correspondence, 1761–1889; and Series III prints general correspondence and other papers of the statesmen.
