The following terms have been used to index the description of this collection in the Library's online catalog. They are grouped by name of person or organization, by subject or location, and by occupation and listed alphabetically therein.
The papers of Frederick Douglass, abolitionist, orator, journalist, diplomat, and public official, were acquired by the Library of Congress by transfer and gift. The collection consists chiefly of papers in Douglass's library at the time of his death in 1895. They relate principally to his career during and after the Civil War. Most of his earlier papers were destroyed when his house in Rochester, New York, burned in 1872. Books and papers that Douglass accumulated after moving to Washington were preserved by his second wife, Helen Pitts Douglass, at their home, "Cedar Hill," in the Anacostia area of the District of Columbia. In 1900 Helen Douglass formed the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association to maintain the home and its contents after her death. In 1916, the association joined with the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs to assure the preservation of the home and library as a monument to the black leader and provide access to the papers by visitors and scholars. In 1940, the Historical Records Survey of the Work Projects Administration (WPA) published a calendar of the Douglass writings included in the collection.
The papers then at Cedar Hill were microfilmed by the Library of Congress in 1945. Since that time, some items have become separated from the collection. Collation of the 1945 microfilm with the Douglass Papers as they now exist at the Library of Congress has been made and, where appropriate, photocopies have been made from the film and substituted for items missing from their proper location among the papers.
In 1962, the Congress of the United States declared "Cedar Hill" to be a national historical building, and ownership of the house and its contents was transferred to the National Park Service. Preparatory to renovating the newly-acquired home, the Park Service removed the papers and stored them in a warehouse in Alexandria, Virginia. Some were sent to the Park Service's restoration office in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The Park Service transferred the papers to the Library of Congress between 1972 and 1974. A small addition given to the Library by Fannie Douglass in 1973 was organized and described with the main collection received from the Park Service.
Significant additions were given in 1975 by Douglass's great-granddaughter, Mrs. Ann Weaver Teabeau, and by Fannie Douglass and the National Park Service. Alice V. Coffee and Opal M. Pollard gave additional material in 1978. Further additions were transferred to the Library by the National Park Service in 1978 and by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1988. The Library purchased material from 1976 to 1997.
The papers of Frederick Douglass were arranged and described in 1974. Material received in 1975 was organized as Addition I. Material obtained between 1978 and 1997 was arranged and described in 1997 as Addition II. Portions of the collection have been described in the Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress, v. 29, July 1972, p. 159, and v. 30, October 1973, p. 301-305. In 1976, the Library published Frederick Douglass, A Register and Index of His Papers in the Library of Congress which includes an index to the correspondence in the collection at that time.
One print has been transferred to the Library's Prints and Photographs Division where it is identified as part of these papers.
The status of copyright in the unpublished writings of Frederick Douglass is governed by the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, U.S.C.).
A microfilm edition of part of these papers is available on 34 reels. Consult a reference librarian in the Manuscript Division concerning availabiity for purchase or interlibrary loan.
Selected items from the papers of Frederick Douglass are available on the Library of Congress Web site at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/doughtml/.

The papers of Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) span the years 1841 to 1967, with the bulk of the material concentrated in the period 1862-1895. The collection consists of correspondence, speeches and articles by Douglass and his contemporaries, a draft of his autobiography, financial and legal papers, and miscellaneous items.
Prominent among Douglass's papers is a draft version of his autobiography, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, which contains recollections of his formative years and serves as a principal source for the study of his life and work. The collection also contains a diary kept by Douglass during his tour of Europe and Africa in 1886 and 1887. Reflections on the scenery, with frequent reminiscences about two previous trips to Great Britain, reveal Douglass's contemplative nature and provide the only known documentation for certain periods of his life. Other autobiographical material consists of a holograph essay prepared for the National Cyclopædia of American Biography included in a group of undated and untitled speeches and articles by Douglass in the Speech, Article, and Book File.
Although Douglass began his speaking career as an abolitionist, his papers contain only a few examples of his early oratory, mainly copies of contemporary newspaper accounts of his speaking engagements. Douglass continued speaking out against slavery during the Civil War, calling for immediate freedom for slaves and recognition of their full rights to citizenship. After the war, Douglass recommended that political power be used to legislate improvements in education and economic and social conditions not only for former slaves but for women, Chinese immigrants, and other segments of the population as well. Most of his speeches between 1865 and 1895 are included in the collection, either in manuscript or printed form.
During several periods of his life, Douglass tried to influence public opinion through the press as well as lecture tours. First he founded the North Star, an antislavery newspaper published weekly in Rochester, New York, from 3 December 1847 to 17 April 1851. The collection contains holograph copies of many of his editorials and the paper's ledger books. Later publishing ventures, Frederick Douglass' Paper (1851-1860) and Douglass' Monthly (1859-1863), both emanating from Rochester, and the New National Era (1870-1874) published in Washington, D.C., are not represented in the collection.* Speeches and articles by Douglass's contemporaries and others are filed in the Speech, Article, and Book File.
*The Library of Congress publication Newspapers in Microform: United States, 1948-1972 (Washington: Library of Congress, 1973, 1056 pp.) lists repositories where microfilm of Douglass's newspapers is available.
Although the General Correspondence series consists primarily of letters received by Douglass, drafts and retained copies of outgoing correspondence are included as well. Douglass was acquainted with leaders in many areas of public life. Notable among reformers and activists with whom he corresponded are Susan B. Anthony, George T. Downing, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Timothy Thomas Fortune, Henry Highland Garnet, William Lloyd Garrison, J. Sella Martin, Parker Pillsbury, Jeremiah Eames Rankin, Robert Smalls, Gerrit Smith, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Theodore Tilton, Henry O. Wagoner, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. The published guide to the Frederick Douglass Papers includes an item-index of the General Correspondence series and the correspondence in Addition I.
Increased involvement in politics accompanied Douglass's growing emphasis on civil rights. He served in a variety of appointed positions after the Civil War, and his papers contain correspondence with many of the people connected with or interested in his work, such as Ebenezer D. Bassett, James Gillespie Blaine, Henry W. Blair, Blanche Kelso Bruce, William E. Chandler, James Sullivan Clarkson, Grover Cleveland, William Eleroy Curtis, John Marshall Harlan, Benjamin Harrison, George Frisbie Hoar, and John Van Voorhis. One of the more controversial incidents in Douglass's political career concerned his dispute with the Department of State over maneuvers to acquire Môle Saint Nicolas, a Haitian coastal town, as the site for a naval base. Numerous speeches by Douglass justifying his position on this matter are included in the collection.
Materials relating to Douglass's duties as a commissioner in charge of the Haitian Pavilion at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 are located in the General Correspondence series, the Speech, Article, and Book File, and the Subject File.
Douglass's private life is documented in correspondence with family and friends. Letters written to him by members of his family give an account of the hardships they endured, and correspondents discussing the problems African Americans faced before and after emancipation include Ottilia Assing, Russell Lant Carpenter, Mary Browne Carpenter, and Julia Griffiths, who helped edit the North Star and served as business manager for the paper, Rosine Ame Draz, Martha W. Greene, and the Webb and Richardson families of England, who collected the money to buy Douglass's freedom.
The Family Papers series contains a biographical sketch of Douglass's first wife, Anna Murray Douglass, by their daughter, Rosetta Douglass Sprague, and a small group of papers of Douglass's second wife, Helen Pitts Douglass. Helen Pitts had been active in the woman's rights movement before her marriage to Douglass in 1884 and resumed her speaking career for a short time after his death in 1895. During the period of her marriage she curtailed activities not directly related to her role as Douglass's wife. The Family Papers include drafts of her speeches, research notes, articles, a diary kept when she accompanied her husband to Europe and Africa in 1886 and 1887, diplomas, and certificates. Other material attributed to her is in the Speech, Article, and Book File, and her correspondence is in the General Correspondence series.
An extensive Subject File consists principally of pamphlets, brochures, speeches, reports, broadsides, and newspaper clippings, but includes a few manuscript items as well, such as an appointment book (1867-1869) and an autograph album (1845). Material for this file was most likely accumulated by Douglass reference purposes. Considerable material related to his death was added to the file later.
The Financial Papers and Legal File contain material ranging in date from 1843 to 1928. Included are items relating to Douglass's income from speaking engagements, private loans, and real estate investments. Numerous bills, receipts, checks, and other financial and business papers document the routine of day-to-day life, particularly for the years spent in residence at "Cedar Hill."
The Miscellany series includes invitations to private and public functions, maps, memorabilia, and miscellaneous printed matter.
Addition I includes correspondence and other material chiefly for the period from the 1870s to the 1890s. A large amount of personal correspondence includes letters from Douglass to his daughter, Rosetta Douglass Sprague.
Addition II spans the years from 1846 to 1967, with the bulk of the material concentrated in the period 1846-1899. The papers include correspondence, speeches, printed matter, newspapers, and clippings. Family correspondence includes several letters by Douglass to Harriet A. Bailey of Lynn, Massachusetts. Correspondence of Douglass's first wife, Anna Murray Douglass, and their children, Rosetta and Lewis, is also included. General correspondence includes letters received and sent by Douglass commenting on such topics as meetings with Edwin M. Stanton and Abraham Lincoln in 1863, the Supreme Court's ruling in the Civil Rights Cases in 1883, and his resignation as minister to Haiti. Letters received by Douglass concern his marriage to Helen Pitts in 1884, invitations, and speaking engagements. A copy of a letter of William Lloyd Garrison to Aaron M. Powell in 1862 is also in the general correspondence.
Printed copies of speeches by Douglass are located in the speech file and the newspaper file. A deed executed in 1886 bears the signatures of Douglass and Blanche Kelso Bruce as recorders of deeds. Also included are clippings, postcards, and memorabilia pertaining to his grandson, Joseph H. Douglass, a violinist. The photograph file contains portraits of Joseph H. Douglass and his family and Helen Pitts Douglass.
Douglass correspondence is also located among the papers of his contemporaries whose collections are also in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, such as Frank G. Carpenter, Zachariah Chandler, Salmon P. Chase, Grover Cleveland, Anna E. Dickinson, Hamilton Fish, James A. Garfield, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, Louis T. Michener, the Reid family (Whitelaw Reid's papers), John Sherman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lewis Tappan, Booker T. Washington , Carter G. Woodson , and the records of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association.
