Handheld Declaration of Independence

If you look for a pocket Declaration of Independence, chances are it includes the U.S. Constitution. Reading the Constitution is incredibly important, but for the 250th anniversary of the United States, it is also important to have handheld copies of the Declaration on its own, in its own context. These booklets, available in bulk at low prices, offer a meaningful souvenir of the semiquincenntial that can be given out or sold at public programs and historic sites in 2026.

The Handheld Declaration of Independence includes:

  • A short introduction by Emily Sneff, Ph.D., an early American historian and leading expert on the Declaration

  • The full text of the Declaration of Independence as printed by John Dunlap in Philadelphia on July 4–5, 1776

  • A brief timeline of the Declaration from the debates to the signing

  • A list of the signers

More information about pricing and quantities will be available soon!
