The American Presidency Project

While many of former United States presidents have their own libraries, The American Presidency Project attempts to bring together documents from all of the presidents. Started in 1999 as a collaborative project between Gerhard Peters, John T. Woolley, and the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Project's site contains over 75,000 documents related to the study of the presidency. First-time visitors can start at the "Documents" area which contains sections such as "Public Papers of the Presidents", "Saturday Radio Addresses", and "Fireside Chats". Moving on, the "Elections" area contains presidential election data from 1828 to the present day. The "Media" area is a real treat as it contains speeches and video clips from Herbert Hoover to George W. Bush. The site concludes with three very useful search options that will assist users looking for specific material from this archive.
