• This comprehensive and authoritative DVD-ROM provides a guide to the Presidential Archives of Franklin D Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States. Historical information regarding FDR’s life and career is extensively illustrated with photographs and copies of historical documents, letters and papers. This incredible collection contains over four gigabytes of material – equivalent to almost six CD-ROMs of information! Most of the documents found in the FDR Library Digital Archives come from the collection known as the President's Secretary's File, or PSF. The PSF is arranged alphabetically by correspondent or subject, and is divided into five series: The Safe Files, The Confidential Files, The Diplomatic Files, the Departmental Files, and The Subject Files. The first batch of PSF documents to be digitized are those 6,500 pages kept locked in FDR's White House safe that were known as the Safe Files. Other files include: portions of the Diplomatic Files pertaining to U.S.-Vatican relations during World War II, approximately 1,000 pages entitled the Vatican Files, as well as the German Diplomatic Files, which contain over 2,500 documents concerning U.S. relations with Germany in the 1930s and 40s, and the British Diplomatic Files, which contain over 3,000 documents on Anglo-American relations. These 13,000 pages can be viewed in original and text format. The Digital Archives also includes over 1,000 photographs of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the Great Depression, and World War II, as well as over 30 audio clips of FDR. This DVD-ROM has over 60,000 pages – many reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software is included. Other files are provided in their native format, and the incredible collection of thousands of photos from the FDR era, including the Great Depression and World War II, are in GIF format. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable! Our discs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool. This DVD-ROM disc is for use in a computer DVD drive. The files can be accessed from the File Explorer in the same way that you open files from a CD-ROM disc. the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM formats are functionally the same, but the DVD has more than six times greater storage capacity. Of course, this disc cannot be "played" in a DVD player connected to a television set. It contains computer-formatted data, not video.
