What is Day by Day?
Day by Day is a calendar of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s daily activities in the White House. Using a topical database compiled by documentary film-maker, Pare Lorentz as the basic framework, the Roosevelt Library has enriched Lorentz’ original text by linking digitized documents, appointment calendars, photographs, speeches, audio and film drawn from its extensive holdings. Beginning with FDR’s Inauguration on March 4, 1933, each “Day” is divided into four topical categories:
- FDR’s Day
- The Day in America
- The Diplomatic Day
- The International Day
The first phase of this project is funded by a generous grant from the New York Community Trust through the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute. Click here to learn how to use DAY BY DAY. Click here to begin using the Day by Day Calendar now.
