The Pinckney Papers Project

Explore the documents of a wealthy slave-owning family during and after the American Revolution

The Pinckney Papers Project website is an outgrowth of two academic works: ‘The Papers of the Revolutionary Era Pinckney Statesmen Digital Edition’ and ‘The Papers of Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Harriot Pinckney Horry Digital Edition’, both edited by Constance B. Schulz (University of Virginia Press). You can find the website here: www.tinyurl.com/4k785aju.

They concentrate on just a few elite white men, hardly telling the full story of American history. Yet when you dig deeper into the papers a much broader picture emerges.
