Description

The Taft Papers include correspondence (family and administrative), speeches, letter books, diaries, legal papers and scrapbooks.

The Taft Papers are divided into twenty-six series, arranged alphabetically or chronologically.

The Index to the William H. Taft Papers lists documents in the collection by proper name, date and series. The Index arranges items primarily by correspondent and then chronologically if a name is repeated. Some subject entries are used. The Reel List in the front of the Index indicates on which reel a particular series, date, or other information can be found. In order to retrieve material, one should consult the Index first and then the Reel List for the appropriate reel number.

The collection contains about 700,000 manuscripts.
