The original version of Magna Carta sealed by King John has not survived. Four contemporaneous copies (knonwn as " exemplification s") remain, all of which are located in the UK: two held by the British Library, one at Lincoln Cathedral, and one at Salisbury Cathedral.
In 1984, Ross Perot purchased a original copy of the version of Magna Carta issued by Edward I's Parliament in 1297. This is thought to be the only copy to be held permanently outside the United Kingdom. It is now on loan to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., where it is on display with the American Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution.
