Folks,

I wanted to make this group aware of a resource that I've been working on for a while now that could be of interest to those studying and teaching Diplomatic History. The Scripps Library at the Miller Center of Public Affairs--a research center at the University of Virginia--opened two years ago, and over that period we have been steadily building digital content on the American presidency (we currently have 2 terabytes on our servers).
We have recently begun moving this digital content to our website, and I would like to invite you to take a look. Our website is, and will remain, a free service we offer to the public.
In the digital library section of our site you will find hundreds of hours of secret White House recordings from Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (with Truman, Eisenhower and Nixon recordings on the way); a growing collection of some of the most important presidential speeches of the past 70 years (in full audio); audio recordings and transcripts of the Jimmy Carter Oral History project conducted at the Miller Center; and recordings of public forums from numerous officials ranging from John Ehrlichman to William Fulbright. You will also find a growing online reference section with extensive bibliographies on individual presidents and specific subjects closely associated with the presidency (e.g. the Vietnam Conflict).

The address for our website is: www.millercenter.virginia.edu/scripps

Any scholars who wish to delve deeply into the secret White House recordings mentioned above should also consult the Center's website for its Presidential Recordings Program, whitehousetapes.org, where they will find much more information about this extraordinary resource, including the status of ongoing efforts to transcribe the tapes.
