An exploration of the significant role that print media played in the American Revolution and the formation of the United StatesDeclaring the Revolution explores how the thirteen American colonies used printed materials to achieve their independence from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence did not appear in isolation; it was one in a long series of declaratory printings—from the Stamp Act in 1765 to the Treaty of Paris in 1783—that confronted America’s relationship to its parent country. Distributed pamphlets, broadsides, books, journals, handbills, engravings, articles, speeches, laws, and songs all played a part in what became the American Revolution.By providing a comprehensive, visually rich overview of what was then published, Declaring the Revolution re-creates the eighteenth-century milieu of printings, printers, words, and writers that bridged the ideas of the Enlightenment with the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and, consequently, the bloody, eight-year war that was fought in pursuit of these ideals. An essential addition to early American studies, Declaring the Revolution uses printed primary sources, authentically reproduced, to explain the relation between the war with Britain, American Revolution, and the Declaration of Independence. Featuring a foreword by Jill Lepore and essays by twelve award-winning historians, this book makes the case that independence was not possible without the publications that induced it.Distributed for the National Archives FoundationExhibition Schedule:National Archives Museum, Washington, DC(Summer 2026)JFK Presidential Library, Boston, MA(Summer 2026)FDR Presidential Library, Hyde Park, NY(Summer 2026)

An illustrated study of the historical printings that depict Abraham Lincoln’s life and legacy.Abraham Lincoln: His Life in Print provides an indispensable overview of the rarely seen books and ephemera from the nineteenth century that made Lincoln a central historical figure. Written for anyone interested in America’s political, publishing, and cultural past, this catalogue presents the world of Lincoln through printed materials that reveal how he rose to prominence, oversaw the nation’s victory in the Civil War, and ended slavery. No person in the last 160 years has been written about more than Lincoln, but before the biographies, there were books, pamphlets, documents, handbills, and periodicals that influenced, informed, or invented Lincoln in his frontier youth, the political maelstroms of the 1850s and early 1860s, the White House, and upon his death. Lincoln used print throughout his life to improve his standing and communicate his ideas and policies. His election as president benefited from campaign literature that mythologized his Western origins. By studying law books, he became an attorney and overcame his poverty and lack of education. To dismantle the institution of slavery, he issued a series of public statements and executive orders which culminated in the Emancipation Proclamation. His finest speeches, such as the Gettysburg Address, gained renown only after they were widely read. The over 300 historical printings covered here are from the Americana collection of philanthropist David M. Rubenstein, who has written the preface. Mr. Rubenstein is also the New York Times bestselling author of five books, including The Highest Calling: Conversations on the American Presidency (2024) and The American Story: Conversations with Master Historians (2019). He is joined by twelve leading writers and historians of Lincoln, each of whom has contributed an essay on an aspect of the sixteenth president’s life and legacy, which will bring readers up to date on current trends in understanding Lincoln. Attractively designed and sumptuously photographed, Abraham Lincoln: His Life in Print assembles the print evidence for Lincoln’s greatness and humanity.
