Julian P. Boyd

Julian P. Boyd

Julian Parks Boyd (1903–1980) was Professor of history at Princeton University. He served as president of the American Historical Association in 1964. For his efforts in preserving the site of the Battle of Hastings, he was named an honorary Commander of the British Empire.

He edited "The Papers of Thomas Jefferson" from 1944 until his death. His approach has been influential:

Modern historical editing dates from the publication of Julian Boyd's first volume of "The Papers of Thomas Jefferson" in 1950. Although there had been earlier compilations of the papers of famous Americans, his carefully prepared texts of Jefferson's letters and other writings, "warts and all," set a new standard for accuracy and reliability.
