Background

Scope and content:

The Donald D. Horward Papers are composed primarily of the operational and financial records of the Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution created by Dr. Horward in 1990, and the conference files of the Consortium on Revolutionary Europe, also founded by Dr. Horward, in 1971. The Institute Records comprise proposals for the Institute at Florida State University (including a proposal to the French government for Institute support); Institute Newsletters; International Napoleonic Society materials (Ben Weider Literary Awards); Ben Weider Student Scholarships, and files documenting Dr. Horward's involvement with Napoleon screenplay and television productions. The Consortia and Conference files include extensive correspondence with Dr. Horward and his colleagues about the various consortia and the Wellington Congresses and the International Congress on the Iberian Peninsula.

Select materials from the Horward Papers have been digitized and are available through the FSU Digital Library.

Biographical / historical:

Dr. Donald Horward, a native of Pennsylvania, received his B.A. at Waynesburg College, his M.A. from Ohio University, and his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.  He joined the faculty at Florida State University (FSU) in 1961.  Since his arrival on campus, over 16,000 students have been introduced to Napoleon and the French Revolution in his classes through the Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution.  Graduate students were quickly attracted to the field and by 1963 the first master's degree was awarded. Three years later, the first Ph.D. graduated in Napoleonic history from FSU.
