The American Presidency Website (a joint venture of Professor John T. Woolley and Gerhard Peters) was recently complimented by a White House staff speech writer as a valuable resource in compiling materials for presidential speeches. The writer notes: "We keep our own speech archive, but yours is so complete and so current that I often find myself searching your database to make sure we aren't missing something."

The American Presidency Project (http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu) is a compilation of presidential papers, speeches, and other documents from the early days of the nation to the present.
