The Papers of Jacob Leisler Project, currently under the direction of Dr.
David William Voorhees at New York University, has signed an agreement with
Professor A. G. Roeber of the Department of History/Max Kade
German-American Research Institute at the Pennsylvania State University and
Professor Dr. Hermann Wellenreuther of Georgia-Augusta University,
Goettingen, Germany, to work as co-editors in  a cooperative and
collaborative effort to bring to completion the publication of the papers
of Jacob Leisler in print and digitalized, photographic, or other media forms.

The proliferation of Leisler documents in German, French, Latin, Dutch, and
English, as well as a paper trail that extends from the courts of the
German states and the banking houses of Switzerland, Italy, and Holland to
the slave pens of Curaçao and Surinam and the tobacco plantations of the
Chesapeake, not to mention North Africa and Sumatra in the East Indies, has
made a rapid completion of the project beyond the ability of one person to
handle alone.  It is hoped that a collaborative effort between the three
editors and their respective research teams will more rapidly make these
valuable documents accessible to scholars and the public.
