Presidential Speeches

Here are three links to databases with Presidential Speeches information.

U.S. Presidential Speeches tags the top 100 words from each speech given by presidents over the years. It lets you analyze how words used have changed (or not) over the years. To use and find speeches, under the line “Top 100 tags,” you will find a line with green arrows. Move the arrows back and forth to locate different speeches on the time line.

Presidential Speeches-video & transcripts provides video for speeches by both Bushs' and by Clinton. Transcripts are from both Bushs', Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson, Kennedy, Eisenhower and Truman.

American Presidency Project is a searchable database for Messages and Papers of the Presidents (1789-1913), Public Papers of the Presidents (1929-1993) and the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (1993-2007).
