Find Presidents in GALILEO
In honor of President’s Day this month, it seems fitting to highlight some of the great resources in GALILEO that provide biographical information on our nation’s presidents.
Encyclopædia Britannica includes articles on all presidents from Washington to Obama. For multimedia, essays, primary sources and more, check out Britannica’s spotlight on The American Presidency.
Annals of American History provides speeches, letters, and more primary source documents. Just search for a president of your choice to see these.
History Reference Center offers articles, speeches, images, and videos. Search for United States presidents or search for a president by name to find these.
For a look at Georgia’s own former president, search the Digital Library of Georgia for Jimmy Carter to see editorial cartoons, historical images, oral histories, and newsfilm clips. Limit by collection or media type on the left to see each. For example, limit to the Vanishing Georgia collection on the left to see historical images.
You can find these resources and more in the Browse by Type > Biographical Sources section of GALILEO Scholar, the Browse by Subject > Biography section of GALILEO Library, the Browse by Type > Biographies section in GALILEO High School, or the By Type > People section in GALILEO Teen.
