Ryder Inauguration

This collection documents the work of the inaugural committees and the inaugural ceremonies for presidents Knowles, Ryder, Curry, and Freeland.  It is arranged alphabetically by folder title, then chronologically within.  Invitations, programs, congratulatory certificates, and inaugural address texts from each of the four inaugurations are included.  The committee work for the Curry and Freeland Inaugurations is well documented, while the work for the Knowles and Ryder Inaugurations is less well documented.  The collection contains video footage of the Ryder and Curry ceremonies (Boxes 4, 8), and audio recordings of the Knowles inauguration (Box 1).  Other material of note includes print-outs of the first inaugural Web site, for President Freeland's inauguration (Box 9).
