Primary sources for historical research: U.S. Presidents

This guide lists important collections of primary sources on U.S. Presidents held by the Princeton University Library. It covers microform, print and digital collections. Microforms listed in this guide are housed in Firestone Library Microforms Service on C floor. Printed guides to these collections are usually also housed in Microforms Service and have call numbers beginning "FilmB." A few collections held by Princeton Theological Seminary or by the Center for Research Libraries are also listed in this guide. Please consult a librarian for help if you would like to use these collections. For further information, please see Guides to primary sources for historical research: introduction.

The best starting point for finding presidential papers is the American National Biography online. In this guide, the entry for each President is linked directly to ANB (note, however, that this is a licensed resource for Princeton only; if you are at another academic institution, ask a librarian if you have access to it.) Look at the end of the ANB entry for information about presidential papers, published editions of the writings of that president, and recommended biographies. ANB also has links to the presidential libraries that house the personal papers of each president since FDR.

For Ronald Reagan (President 1981-1989) and subsequent presidents, the best starting point is the web site of the presidential library. Keep in mind that though you may find some material online, many documents from this period will not yet be available to researchers, and you may need to travel to the presidential library to consult those documents that are available.
