The Constitutional Sources Project (ConSource) is a project to make source documents on the history of the United States Constitution available for research.[1][2]


Mission

The Constitutional Sources Project (www.consource.org) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, based in Washington D.C., that connects individuals directly to the primary source documents comprising United States Constitutional History. To achieve its mission of facilitating greater research and understanding of United States Constitutional history, it hosts public educational programs, professional development workshops for educators, and provides additional research and educational services to the public. More information about ConSource and its programs can be found at www.consource.org.

History of the Organization

The Constitutional Sources Project was founded in 2005 and its website at www.ConSouce.org publicly launched in 2007. Julie Silverbrook serves as the organization’s current Executive Director. ConSource was created to provide free digital access to the documentary history of the United States Constitution, and to make that history accessible and intelligible to everyone from a fourth grader to a United States Supreme Court Justice.
