Library of Congress Completes Digitization of 23 Early Presidential Collections

Courtesy of the Library of Congress Washington, D.C. The Library of Congress has completed a more than two decade-long initiative to digitize the papers of nearly two dozen early presidents. The Library holds the papers of 23 presidents from George Washington to Calvin Coolidge, all of which have been digitized and are now available online. The Library plans to highlight each presidential collection on social media in the weeks leading up to the next presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021. “Arguably, no other body of material in the Manuscript Division is of greater significance for the study of American history than the presidential collections,” said Janice E. Ruth, chief of the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress. “They cover the entire sweep of American history from the nation’s founding through the first decade after World War I, including periods of prosperity and depression, war and peace, unity of purpose and political and civil strife.”

The only question now is, what will that name be? Last month, a special task force unanimously recommended that not only the name of the 10th president of the United States be stripped from the campus because of his ties to the Confederacy, but it also wants streets on both the Chester and Midlothian campuses that commemorate him also get renamed.
