Rutherford B. Hayes Collections
The Rutherford B. Hayes Papers, the heart of the Manuscript Collections, include Hayes' diaries, personal and political correspondence, speeches, news clippings, government records, legal notes, business papers, and military records. Extending from his school days until his death in 1893, the Hayes Papers offer a reflection of the 19th President's public and private life as well as his scholarly interests: politics, the presidency, American history, education, prison reform, law, literature, genealogy, and veterans' welfare.
A thorough index, typed transcripts, microfilm, and web site resources provide easy accessibility.
The Hayes Family Papers include those of many of his close and affiliated family such as his uncle, Sardis Birchard, the First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes, his son Webb Cook Hayes, his cousin Lucy Elliot Keeler and others.Titles designated with "MF" indicate the collection is on microfilm. Collections with a link have a digitized finding aid. Those with no link do not, contact Julie Mayle ([email protected]) for additional information. |
