User:Newyorkbrad/List of locations of manuscript collections for members of the U.S. President's Cabinet
The purpose of this page is to compile a listing of principal manuscript and archival collections for personal papers of members of the United States Cabinet. In rough terms, the scope of the page may ultimately be comparable to the manuscript listings in the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress for U.S. Senators and Representatives, or the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges for federal judges.
At least at this stage, the emphasis is on listings of principal collections relating to an official, principally collections of the official's own papers. These may be held in special collections divisions of libraries, in archives, or other repositories. Isolated holdings relating to an official in another collection will generally not be included at this stage unless the holdings are substantial. Descriptions of manuscript holdings available from other online sources are linked when available, such as for cabinet members who also served terms in Congress or the judiciary and have entries in the respective guides.
The designation of "cabinet departments" and "cabinet members" is somewhat artificially limited to the principal executive departments as recognized by statute at the time.
The idea for this page derived from some lists I have been making for myself in connection with my "real world" research for a couple of articles I have been meaning to draft. Time will tell whether the page is sufficiently useful to be destined for mainspace.
