Thomas Jefferson's Library: A Catalog With the Entries in His Own Order
Edited by James Gilreath and Douglas L. Wilson
1989 : Library of Congress
This catalog of Thomas Jefferson's library
was originally prepared at Jefferson's request by Nicholas
Trist in 1823. Trist worked from a copy of a printed 1815
catalog arranged alphabetically by title which was issued
by the Library of Congress after the U.S. Congress acquired
Jefferson's library in 1814. Trist's restored arrangement
reflects Jefferson's intellectual classification of the works
as well as their physical placement on the shelves at Monticello.
This online version was produced under the auspices
of the Bibliographic
Enrichment Advisory Team (BEAT) of the Library of Congress
as part of the BeCites+
Project in 2001. The catalog is also cited in another
Jefferson guide produced through the BeCites+ Project: Thomas
Jefferson: An American Man for All Seasons.
