PREFACE
Scope. The present list is a complete revision and updating of
the 1960 edition of Presidential Inaugurations and its 1964 supplement,
both compiled by the General Reference and Bibliography Division. Fol-
lowing the practice begun in 1949, this third edition has been prepared
to serve as a guide to information on inaugural ceremonies and festiv-
ities from 1789 to the present.
Although the emphasis is on books, parts of books, and periodical
articles, many items from newspapers are also cited. Since the fixed
date of the ceremonies makes newspaper coverage relatively simple to
trace, comprehensive inclusion of this material was not attempted.
While an effort was made to call attention to the presence of pic-
tures in the cited publications, it was not possible to include refer-
ences to the large quantity of illustrative materials relating to inau-
gurations in the Presidential file of the Library's Prints and Photo-
graphs Division. Some of these are listed in the second edition of
Pictorial Americana, compiled by Milton Kaplan and edited by Charles G.
LaHood, Jr. (Washington, Library of Congress, 1955. 68 p.).
Arrangement. As the table of contents indicates, the list com-
prises a general section, six sections on specific topics, and a section
on the inaugurations of individual Presidents. Arrangement in each sec-
tion and subsection is alphabetical, with the exception of "Invitations,
Programs and Other Memorabilia," the arrangement of which is primarily
chronological. An index to authors and subjects completes the work.
Location of items is indicated either by a Library of Congress call
number or location symbol, or, for material in another library, by the
National Union Catalog symbol for that library.
2
Many references will be found to items in the District of Columbia
Public Library. These materials are all in the Washingtoniana Collec-
tion at the central library; they are presently organized into seven
scrapbooks and five file boxes containing folders for each President,
for the subject as a whole, and for special aspects such as Bibles,
inaugural balls, and the weather. Specific locations have been given
for items in this collection which are described here.
