HERBERT HOOVER
Hoover rarely wrote holograph letters. In 1932, complying with the request of an autograph collector for a handwritten letter, he wrote that “ I do not write more than one letter per annum with my own hand.” Another time he said that he probably had not written more than a dozen in his lifetime. His estimate was off, but nevertheless his handwritten letters are the scarcest of any President.
Welcome to History in Ink
Scrawls, scribbles, and signatures are more than stains on a page. Like snapshots, they capture moments, preserving the pieces of thought that form the grand puzzle of human experience. They reveal the breadth and depth of personality and emotion. They are truly History In Ink.
“Men don’t change,” President Harry S. Truman observed. “The only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.” The letters, photographs, and documents of the famous and influential people of the past are great teachers. The words and the handwriting connect us with yesteryear and bring history to life.
Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, among others, collected historical letters and documents. Queen Victoria was an avid autograph collector, and years later her great-grandson, King George VI, requested Truman’s signature for his daughter, now Queen Elizabeth II. Today there are thousands of autograph collectors worldwide.
