Sagamore Hill National Historic Site Partners with Dickinson State University to Scan Theodore Roosevelt Papers
Since August 2010, the work of two museum assistants Sarah Curley and Jacqueline Billig, has greatly benefitted Sagamore Hill National Historic Site’s archives and the needs of future researchers. These talented women, who are sponsored by Dickinson State University in North Dakota, have been working on site at the park, scanning primary source documents related to Theodore Roosevelt’s life and legacy. The resulting digitized copies of Theodore Roosevelt’s writings will be available for researchers on the Internet. The hope is that the final product will be similar to the Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson papers available on the Library of Congress website.
