Dickinson State University in western North Dakota is attempting to create a presidential Library[1] called the Theodore Roosevelt Center.
It has pursued the mission of digitizing and archiving all of TR’s letters, diaries, photographs, political cartoons, audio and video recordings, as well as other media.
