The project is part of the [[Yale Law School]] [[Lillian Goldman Law Library]]. The project contains online electronic copies of documents dating back to the beginning of history, making it possible to study the original text of not only very famous documents such as ''[[Magna Carta]]'', the [[English Bill of Rights]], and the [[United States Bill of Rights]], but also the text of less well known but significant documents which mark turning points in the history of law and rights.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://chnm.gmu.edu/worldhistorysources/r/211/whm.html |title=Avalon Project: Documents in Law, History and Diplomacy |website=Center for History and New Media |publisher=[[George Mason University]]}}</ref> {{Blockquote|source=Statement of Purpose<ref>{{cite web |url=http://avalon.law.yale.edu/about/purpose.asp |title=Statement of Purpose |website=Yale Law School: Lillian Goldman Law Library |access-date=September 6, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220602014850/http://avalon.law.yale.edu/about/purpose.asp |archive-date=June 2, 2022}}</ref>|text=The Avalon Project will mount digital documents relevant to the fields of Law, History, Economics, Politics, Diplomacy and Government.
