Presidents
Presidents have had a special relationship with the Library of Congress since President John Adams, in 1800, approved legislation that appropriated funds to purchase books for the use of Congress. All forty-one presidents are represented in American Memory, as well as in other areas of the Library's website. This pathfinder will take you, by president, to related American Memory collections, Exhibitions, or THOMAS. Search Tips:
- In the historical collections of American Memory, search on president and presidents' names.
- In THOMAS, search the Bills, Congressional Record Text and Index on the presidents' names. Also, search the Congressional Record Index on the subject term Presidents of the United States.
