The French Revolutionary Tracts Collection consists of 290 pamphlets produced between 1780-1815 that were bound into 52 volumes prior to their accession in the University of Missouri Libraries in 1958. Some pamphlets were written in English, however, most pamphlets were written in French. While the collection documents various perspectives on the events leading up to the French Revolution and afterward, in the early nineteenth century, most pamphlets in the collection were produced during the decade of the revolution, from 1789 to 1799
