About

Secrets of Washington's Library is a video and podcast series about the books, papers, and maps that belonged to George Washington. Through both video and podcast episodes, we share the stories hidden between the pages of Washington's library to explore George Washington's life and his role during the American Revolution and Presidency.

Secrets is a production of the Center for Digital History (CDH) at the George Washington Presidential Library at George Washington at Mount Vernon. To learn more about the CDH, visit https://www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/.
