Digitized Correspondence

Digitized Millard Fillmore Papers Collection

The Millard Fillmore Papers collection was selected for digitization as part of a Special Collections Grant from NNYLN to purchase scanning equipment in 2018.  Scanning commenced and approximately 25 years of correspondence and documents can be accessed via New York Heritage Digital Collections with more being released throughout the year.  

In 2023, a transcription project will launch to increase access to these valuable resources.  More information will be available during fall 2022.
