The American Presidency Project

 

 

The American Presidency Project was established in 1999 as a collaboration between John T. Woolley and Gerhard Peters at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  The archives contain over 102,000 documents related to the study of the Presidency.  According to the website, The American Presidency Project is the only online resource that has consolidated, coded, and organized into a single searchable database:

 

• The Messages and Papers of the Presidents:  Washington - Taft (1789-1913)
• The Public Papers of the Presidents:  Hoover - G. W. Bush (1929 - 2007) and Obama (2009)
• The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents:  Carter - G. W. Bush (1977-2009)
• The Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents:  Obama (2009 - 2012)

The archives also contain thousands of other documents such as party platforms, candidates' remarks, Statements of Administration Policy, documents released by the Office of the Press Secretary, and election debates. 

This is a great resource for anyone interested in the Presidency of the United States.
