Q. How do I find speeches?

Hello,

You're in luck! UMD Libraries has a guide to finding the texts of speeches, both in books and databases available through the Libraries and in sources available freely on the Web. Go here to start your search.

For a lot of great information about rhetoric, public speaking, and how preserving speeches is both difficult and important work, check out this ebook: The Handbook of Rhetoric and Public Address.
