The Constitutional Sources Project (ConSource) operates in the legal services field with the goal of broadening access to the documentary history of the U.S. Constitution. It provides free online access to a growing library of source documents detailing the document’s creation, ratification, and amendments, aiming to support research and education for students, teachers, lawyers, judges, and other interested citizens. A cross-reference database connects historical documents to modern constitutional questions, linking historical ideas to current legal and political issues. Based in Washington, DC, the organization positions itself as a resource for rigorous study and discussion within the legal field and broader public. In October 2020, ConSource merged with the Quill Project, a research center at Pembroke College, Oxford, reflecting an expanded collaboration between the two initiatives.
