History

The Bicentennial of the Constitution of the United States Research Project Working Files contain the research materials for A Daybookfor 1787, Independence National Historical Park's publication that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. Written and collected by park historians, the book summarizes the events leading up to the ratification of the Constitution and offers a glimpse into daily life in the late nineteenth century.

The Daybook contains essays that chronicle each day of the year 1787. Every daily entry includes essays entitled "Philadelphia Today", "Confederation Today", "Delegates Today", and in some instances, "Convention Today" and "Ratification Today". "Philadelphia Today" contains anecdotes of newsworthy events in Philadelphia, while "Confederation Today" summarizes events happening on a national level. In "Delegates Today", the Daybook authors describe moments in the lives of delegates to the Constitutional Convention. On days when the Constitutional Convention was in session there is a "Convention Today" entry that contains an account of the day's events at the Convention. In the days following the Convention, an essay on "Ratification Today" describes the Constitution's ratification process. For each day in 1787, there is an accompanying essay entitled "Looking Back" that expands on a specific subject related to life in the Constitutional period.

The Daybook was researched over the course of three years by INDE historians David C. Gilette Dutcher, Robert K. Sutton, Anna Coxe Toogood, and Chief Historian David A. Kimball. The "Looking Back" entries were contributed by scholars, writers, historians, and INDE staff.
