Collecting American Presidential Autographs: Paul C. Richards' The Presidents of the United States of America

Dr. Paul Rich is a member of the Manuscript Society and life member of the Organization of American Historians, the American Historical Association, and the Historical Society. At the headquarters of the Policy Studies Organization in Washington, which has strong connections with the family of President James Garfield, he has gathered a unique collection of Garfield material as well as of leading figures in American political science. He believes that eventually such materials need to find their way into public access so that researchers have ready use of them, and has donated original material to Dartmouth College, the Essex Institute, Eton College, Harvard, and elsewhere.
