The speeches range from a 1898 school debate on the annexation of Hawaii while Roosevelt was a student at Groton School to the draft of the April 13, 1945 Jackson Day address that Roosevelt never delivered because of his death the day before. Speech files from the pre-presidential period generally contain a typescript or reading copy of the speech or a copy of the speech text derived from other contemporary printed sources, such as newspapers or compilations. Speech files from the presidential years (1933-1945) generally contain various drafts of the speeches, the reading copy, and an official White House stenographic transcript that indicates words deleted and words added by Roosevelt during delivery. Also included in this series are written Messages to Congress proposing legislation and regarding vetoes.
