Presidential Election Campaign Biographies:
A Guide To The Microfiche Collection
The Collection
Presidential Election Campaign Biographies, Core Collection, 1824-1976 is a microfiche collection of 197 titles on 597 fiche. The collection includes sources about specific elections, parties and presidential candidates, including winners and losers. The information is not limited to the time period of the election and often spans a person’s entire political career. Secondary sources are often written during the candidate’s lifetime and usually soon after the election. Primary sources include speeches, letters, papers and works written by candidates. Official campaign documents are produced to persuade people to vote for a candidate; therefore, they are not always completely factual. Try to find additional information, preferably primary sources, to supplement information presented in campaign material.
Location
The collection is located in the Media Center on the 3rd Floor of the Ottenheimer Library at UALR.
