Precious collection

In the United States, the Library of Congress has digitalised thousands of intimate records from Theodore Roosevelt’s life. The library now hosts the world’s largest collection of Roosevelt’s papers, with 276,000 documents and more than 460,000 images. This includes most of the former American president’s scrapbooks, speeches, and family records, including a campaign speech from his 1912 unsuccessful presidential bid.
