Editor's Notes

• #3: The AIE will be a collection of over 50,000 pages of materials that document the experience of diverse communities in the United States in fall 1918 and winter 1919 when flu took the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans from coast to coast. It will highlight the human and social experiences of disease, death, and dislocation associated with the pandemic. The AIE will provide access to an extensive set of interpretative documents, such as city essays, timelines, information boxes, and sidebars that will help guide the reader and serve as templates for self-guided research projects. It is intended for a wide-ranging audience that encompasses high school and college students, historians and social scientists, epidemiologists and public health practitioners, journalists and writers, as well as casual internet users interested in the period. The bulk of the collection will consist of original archival materials, namely:Permalink for this paragraph 0 Relevant newspaper articles from all cities studied for the CDC report (September 1918 – March 1919)Relevant excerpts from minority newspapers, categorized by circulation, readership, and political affiliation, including immigrant (Italian, Polish, Mexican) and African American newspapers (September 1918 – March 1919)All available municipal annual health and other reports from 50 of the most populous cities in the United States (1917-1922)Every available U.S. state and federal report on influenza (1917-1922)U.S. Census mortality data and local and state case incidence data (September 1918-March 1919)The corpus of published medical, public health, and popular literature on the 1918 influenza pandemic in the United States (1918-1928)U.S. military records, primarily from the Army and Navy (1918-1921)Letters and correspondenceMinutes of organizations and groupsOfficial proclamations and ordersReports of agencies and charitiesDiaries and recollectionsPhotographsThese materials were collected at over 142 archival repositories across the United States.

• #4: Unlike modern presidents, Theodore Roosevelt does not have a presidential library. Instead, his personal and presidential papers are scattered in libraries and other sites across the United States. The mission of the Theodore Roosevelt Center is to gather together and digitize copies of all Roosevelt-related items, to make his legacy more readily accessible to scholars and schoolchildren, enthusiasts and interested citizens. Items in the digital library include correspondence to and from Roosevelt, diary entries, notes, political cartoons, scrapbooks, newspaper columns and magazine articles by and about Roosevelt, speeches, and photographs. Users can also view film clips and listen to audio recordings.We currently have in-house over 160,000 documents (roughly half a million digital images) from our partner institutions. Our partners include the repositories with the two largest collections of Theodore Roosevelt materials, the Library of Congress and Harvard College Library along side the six National Parks sites related to Roosevelt: Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace (Manhattan), Sagamore Hill (Oyster Bay), Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural (Buffalo), Theodore Roosevelt Island (Washington DC), Theodore Roosevelt National Park (Medora) and Mount Rushmore (SD)
