The Library of Congress holds the world's largest collection of Walt Whitman manuscripts. The current transcription campaign covers a large subset of his writings, including poetry, personal letters, and other documents.

Whitman worked as a school teacher, printer, newspaper editor, journalist, carpenter, freelance writer, civil servant, and Union Army nurse during the Civil War, but he is best known as one of America's most famous poets. |
