The Correspondence of the Columbian Institute, 1816 - 1824 - Set 1

Imagine your new country is now 40 years old, but still looking to Europe for its cultural heritage. The Columbian Institute was organized at Washington, D.C., in 1816 for the purpose of reducing the United States' dependence on a purely European cultural heritage. A number of notable American figures including Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy and his son John Quincy Adams participated in the Institute's straightforward approach - use correspondence, exchanges and a program of publication to encourage the diffusion of information about agriculture, manufacturing, and natural resources. In 1818, it was incorporated by Congress and lasted 20 years when it collapsed and was eventually absorbed by the National Institute in 1841. Join other digital volunteers in describing this set of historic correspondence. There are more than 100 letters to choose from, so scroll to the right or down to see more correspondence.
