Dickinson State University has undertaken to obtain digitized copies of most of or all of the writings of Theodore Roosevelt.  The bulk of the Roosevelt papers exist in two repositories: the Library of Congress and the Houghton Library at Harvard University. Another set of items is held by six National Park Service sites related to TR:  the birthplace in New York City, the inaugural site in Buffalo, New York, Sagamore Hill on Long Island, Theodore Roosevelt Island in DC, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and Mount Rushmore.  Additional smaller collections are held in other museums and repositories.

In partnership with these organizations, our goal is to make Roosevelt’s papers available to scholars, citizens, students, and tourists of all ages.

Because of the enormity of this undertaking, we intend to introduce the TR papers in phases. 

For the moment, we are providing a sampling of TR documents, digitized by our partners.

Welcome. Enjoy. And stay tuned!
