Handwriting the Constitution and Declaration of Independence

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, visitors are invited to handwrite the Declaration and the US Constitution in the Courtyard of the Central Library in Copley Square. This program aims to create time and a quiet space to reflect and deepen one's understanding of these historic documents. All supplies will be provided. Participants will first stop by the supply table to pick up writing supplies and copies of the Constitution and/or Declaration of Independence. Reproductions of John Adams's personal copy of the Constitution held by Special Collections will also be available to transcribe. This program is self-paced. Patrons are invited to stay for the whole session or simply stay as long as they would like.
