The Collected Writings Project

A Breakthrough in Thomas Paine Studies

In Spring 2026, Princeton University will release a groundbreaking collection of Paine’s writings that will revolutionize Paine studies. This will include almost 400 newly discovered works previously unknown.

The Collected Writings Project is being managed by the Thomas Paine Historical Association. Although we have some initial funding from the Nimick Forbesway Foundation, we still need support from donors in other foundations and historical research bodies.
