Wythepedia is divided into two main categories: The George Wythe Collection and The George Wythe Encyclopedia.
Contents
The George Wythe Collection
This section of Wythepedia is devoted to the library of George Wythe especially as represented by The George Wythe Collection at the College of William & Mary's Wolf Law Library. A page will be created for each book title or set known or suspected to have been owned by Wythe.
Content
Each book page will feature these sections:
- Introductory paragraph(s) highlighting the history of the title and author.
- Bibliographic information - Author, Title, Publication information, and Edition.
- Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library - a summary of the sources and research that indicate why we think Wythe owned a particular title.
- Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy - a description of the physical condition of the volume(s) noting all inscriptions and bookplates. This section will also include a link to the title's record in William & Mary's online catalog. This section will not be included on the pages for titles not owned by The Wolf Law Library.
- External Links - redirects to a full text copy of the volume(s) in (in order of preference) Google Books, the Internet Archive, or another free web resource.
- References - citations for the information included in the Introductory paragraph and the Evidence for Inclusion sections. Citations follow The Chicago Manual of Style.
- Categories - all book pages fall in the category of "Titles in Wythe's Library"; titles owned by The Wolf Law Library have the added category of "George Wythe Collection at William & Mary's Wolf Law Library"; all book pages will also have at least one subject category such as "English Literature" or "Criminal Law".
Images
The book pages for items in The George Wythe Collection will also include images of at least one title page, all bookplates and inscriptions, and any illustrations deemed interesting or necessary to enhance the page design. Files for the images will be loaded with the following naming convention:
AuthorShortTitleDateDescription.jgp
- Examples
- HouseCommonsHistory1742BookplateTPVersoV1.jpg

The comment field for the image should include a brief description (title page, bookplate from front paste down, inscription from front fly leaf, frontispiece, etc.) the author's full name, the full title, volume number, publication information and date. The title should be linked to the Wythepedia page for that title.

Examples of Finished Pages
See Britton or Law Tracts for examples of finished book pages.
The George Wythe Encyclopedia
This section of Wythepedia covers all aspects of Wythe's life and career other than his library. The sections below are those which have been identified at this point. We expect to add more sections as time and imagination allow.
Biographical pages
Eventually we plan to have a page devoted to every part of Wythe's life imaginable. Some of the early pages include Wythe's Judicial Career,Wythe's Death, and Wythe the Teacher. These pages should all link to the main biography page George Wythe and include references and any links to appropriate Wythepedia pages or outside materials (such as full-text articles, items in the repository, or reference materials available online).
Citations follow The Chicago Manual of Style except citations for legal materials. Legal materials follow The Bluebook.
While we might add full-text pdf files for some shorter materials, we will not be adding full-text for lengthy articles or books. We will be expanding the book/article reviews pages for the biographies of Wythe (see "Further Reading" on the main biography page.
Letters and Papers
We are actively searching for all examples of letters to or from George Wythe (and any other Wythe papers that might be "out there"). With a few
- Wythe's Individual Cases
- Memoria
