Current Table of Indexes of scanned volumes and their status.

Article Naming edit

• Executive Order (contiguous numbering scheme - 1 to 99999).

Article Formatting edit

Still to be finalized.

• BOT conversion of standard header template to custom pending as of 12/10/2009. Done

All existing EOs using custom EO header ( see below ) as of July 2010.

• Signature Images - Various images of the Presidents' handwritten signatures. Follow the linked images to existing Executive Orders from there for examples of use.

Templates edit

• {{Potus-eo}} − Executive Order header template.

Executive Order 11085 by President of the United States The Presidential Medal of Freedom ◄  Executive Order 11084 369302 Executive Order 11086  ► Signed by President John F. Kennedy Friday, February 22, 1963 Federal Register page & date: 28 FR 1759, Tuesday, February 26, 1963 The Presidential Medal of Freedom has its roots in the Medal of Freedom created to honor civilian service during WWII… See Wikipedia for more info on Presidential Medal of Freedom  more info.

• Takes the usual article header and customizes it for use with EO's specifically.
  • Inserts a citation bar before blue note field found in most of the standard header templates that is utilized just for the signing date and/or the page and date the EO was actually published in the Federal Register (can be overriden manually).
  • automatically figures out which President created the Executive Order just by inputing the EO# and then creates both an external link to a government listing to verify title, dates, citation info, etc. and an internal link to the Wikilist page of the EO's for that particular President (works from FDR to Obama Administrations} and places it in the new citation bar.
  • automatically adds the correct [[Executive orders of {{Year}}]] category at the end based on signing date info given.

See the template's documentation for all available parameters/details.

Categorization edit

• Final yet to be determined - the Potus-eo header template automatically adds the 2 basic ones covering authorship of type (Executive Order document) and year created.

Linking edit

• Wikify important document names to link to the appropriate wikisource document by placing them in brackets, especially other executive order documents, even if currently redlinked.

• Presidential Executive Orders

• Two volumes, both sponsored by the W.P.A. Historical Records Survey, edited by Clifford L. Lord, and made available in 1944. These books do not contain any full Executive Orders as issued by the various Presidents and should be primarily used for cross-referencing and verification purposes only against more current EO indicies since the title names or number designations may no longer correspond with current listings.

• Volume I, listing all numbered executive orders through the end of 1938 (EO 8030), giving a brief synopsis of each and, for some, references of other publications where the text may be found. It also contains a short history of executive orders.
• Volume II is a subject index of all the EOs listed in the first volume, useful for finding orders related to each other.

• HathiTrust

HathiTrust is putting a number of books online, originally from the University of Michigan but now joined by other libraries. They have many U.S. Government works visible which are not visible on Google Books (in some cases they have the Google Books scan). Supplementary publications include:

• Presidential documents of the Hoover Administration (two volumes), March 4, 1929 to March 4, 1933,
  —Proclamations 1870-2037 and Executive Orders 5076-6070;

  —FDR executive order listings from March 1933 - Jan 1937 (EO 6071 - 7539)
• A number of orders printed by the Government Printing Office, including some not printed in Federal Register (and omitting many which were printed there)

• 1932-33 (EO 5800 - 6070), (February 17, 1932 to March 3, 1933).
• 1933 (EO 6071 - 6250), (March 8, 1933 to August 15, 1933).

• 1935 (EO 7082 - 7261), (June 22, 1935 to December 31, 1935).
• 1936-38 (EO 7262 - 8027), (January 4, 1936 to December 23, 1938).
• 1939-41 (EO 8032 - 9003), (January 10, 1939 to December 30, 1941).

• Codification of Presidential Proclamations and Executive Orders, (April 13, 1945 - January 20, 1989 ). Scanned copy of the out of print edition that made up the online version before NARA stopped updating it.
  • Proclamations table ( starts on page 972 )
  • Executive Orders table ( starts on page 1021 )
  • The 1961 - 1985 version (which was superseded by the 1945-1989 volume)

• Code of Federal Regulations volumes (and a few others here). Title 3 volumes compile presidential works, including executive orders and proclamations. They have most Title 3 volumes from 1938-2006 it appears.
  • Title 3 Consolidated Tables for 1936-1965. (Executive Order and Proclamation listings);
  • Title 3 Consolidated Index for 1936-1965. (Subject index)

Starting with 1976, Title 3 compilations also include regulations contained in Chapter I, Executive Office of the President. They were thereafter issued as single-year volumes instead of covering multiple years in one volume. The compilations are a common source reference for Executive Orders issued since 1936.

• CIS Index to Presidential Executive Orders & Proclamations, Part I (1789 - 1921) The CIS Index was a comprehensive listing of all executive orders that could be found as of 1983. It was published in two parts (1789 - 1921, and 1921 - 1983). Part I had ten volumes, a few which were bibliographic data of all orders, and others being various indexes of the orders. It was accompanied by a microfiche collection with the full text of all the orders. HathiTrust has four volumes of Part I:

• Chronological List 1789 - 1921
• Index by Personal Names, Index of Interrelated Orders, Index by Site and Document Numbers 1789 - 1921
• Index by Subjects and Organizations A - E 1789 - 1921
• Reference Bibliography 1789 - 1863

• Covers PLOs from June 20, 1942 to June 4, 1998
• Range is PLO No. 1 to PLO No. 7342

• A separate copy is here; it also includes yearly listings from 1998 to 2010.

• Donnelly Collection of Executive Orders (archived copy from 2005)

• Recent listing of what is available in the Collection.
• Collection of EOs from 1961 through 1998, plus some dating back to 1789.
• Nearly all come complete with source url, original text, and amendments when available.

• Monthly Catalog of U.S. Government Publications

• Prior to 1905, the "President of the United States" section in the catalog only included proclamations and a few other items (marked here in gray). After that, executive orders sometimes began to be listed along with their subject and a quick summary, sometimes (but not always) including the signing dates. Consistent inclusion of dates begin in July 1908, and in January 1909 the executive order and proclamation numbers began to be listed, meaning it is a useful resource to correlate executive order numbers and dates. Some orders, especially those at the end of a month, are listed in the next month's chapter (and sometimes two months later). The following is a table which links to each month's President section in scanned versions of the catalog which have been uploaded to archive.org. There are more years, but starting with 1937, the executive order information is easier to find on the National Archives sites, listed above.
