Recently added to the Library of Congress website: the papers of President James Garfield. The Garfield collection includes approximately 80,000 items, mostly dating from 1850 to 1881.
Garfield’s papers include correspondence, diaries, speeches, records of his Civil War military service details of a disputed election in 1876.
The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) and the National Archives’ Office of the Federal Register (OFR), have digitized volumes of The Public Papers of the Presidents from Presidents Herbert Hoover (1929) to George H.W. Bush (1991), (the Franklin D. Roosevelt presidency is not included. The papers of President Franklin Roosevelt were published privately not as part of the official series). A fascinating resource for domestic and foreign policy history. Each volume contains the papers and speeches of the President of the United States that were issued by the Office of the Press Secretary
