Notes
- A collection of items or digital files from each of the 62 inaugurations from George Washington’s in 1789 to William Jefferson Clinton’s in 1997, and will include items from the 63rd inauguration of 2001. This presentation includes diaries and letters of presidents and of those who witnessed inaugurations, handwritten drafts of inaugural addresses, broadsides, inaugural tickets and programs, prints, photographs, and sheet music. An important component is the collaboration with the Avalon Project at the Yale Law School, which permits the site to offer Yale’s online presentations of the inaugural addresses from Presidents Washington to Bush with associated searchable text transcriptions
