U.S. Presidents and Vice Presidents Correspondence and Documents

W. Clement Stone donated this collection of correspondence, documents and autographs to the McCormick Library in 1996. Materials have been arranged chronologically according to presidential administrations, with President and Vice President of each term appearing together. Correspondence or documents of Vice Presidents who later served as President appear in separate folders. However, materials were not necessarily generated during an executive's term of office. Following the sequence of correspondence for U.S. Presidents and Vice Presidents through the term of the Nixon/Agnew administration is a second correspondence series consisting of presidents pro-tempore of the U.S. Senate and presidents of particular administrations which held a prominent place in the history of the . These include Elias Boudinot, president of the , Sam , president of , and , president of the Confederate States of America. This second series is also in chronological order according to term of office. Included with many of the letters, documents or autograph signatures are short biographical sketches, transcriptions of holograph items, and reproductions of photographs or engravings. The McCormick Library also has correspondence of some of these prominent statesmen in other collections. If additional holdings exist, a citation note has been added to this guide.
