Drawing from over fifty years of scholarship and teaching, Professor Lloyd has compiled within these Online Exhibits a wide range of primary and secondary sources from the American Founding. In addition, he has created or overseen the development of resources designed to help introduce interested teachers, students, and citizens to the American Founding, and to support scholars in their research and teaching about these topics.

His latest coauthored books are The Two Narratives of Political Economy (2010) and The New Deal and Modern American Conservatism: A Defining Rivalry (2013). In 2014, Lloyd published a new edition of Madison’s coverage of the Debates of the Constitutional Convention.
