Scope and Content Note for Additions to the Collection
Additions to the papers of Calvin Coolidge are designated as Series 4 of the collection. Additions are not available on microfilm and are not described in the published index of the papers.
The 1994 addition spans the years 1915-1932 and includes correspondence and related material, appointment books, and volumes of incoming telegraph messages. The telegraph messages also date from the first months of the Herbert Hoover administration. Of particular interest is a note written by Coolidge and given to his secretary, Everett Sanders, to copy for distribution to journalists in Rapid City, South Dakota. The note reads, "I do not choose to run for President in nineteen twenty eight."
The 2022 addition spans the years 1920-1926 and consists chiefly of correspondence and writings concerning Calvin Coolidge's authorship of three articles for the Delineator, an American women's magazine, on the subject of domestic radicalism and communist influence in women's colleges.
