Public Papers of the Presidents and Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents

Public Papers indexes and provides access to the speeches and papers of US Presidents, 1992-Present.
For pre-1992 material, you'll need to access the print edition, available in the Social Sciences Library, second floor, Paterno Library.

Weekly Compilation is similar in content, but more up-to-date than Public Papers. Presidential statements, messages, remarks and more are available, 1993-Present. For pre-1993 material, you'll need to visit the Social Sciences Library.
View the full-text of speech books online via NetLibrary!

I searched tonight to see what was available, and found a wide variety of titles available, including the 3 listed below.
Have questions on how to access NetLibrary? (it can be a little tricky) Email me!
