Park Ridge, NJ — NewMedia Publishing announced today that it has created the online version of the Theodore Roosevelt Centennial Gubernatorial CD-ROM for the Theodore Roosevelt Association. This web edition is now on the association's web site for everybody interested in learning more about TR's achievements, listening to speeches delivered by him, or using quotes from his works.

This web edition includes the Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia, last published in 1989 and two volumes of TR's gubernatorial papers, Public Papers of Theodore Roosevelt, Governor 1899 and Public Papers of Theodore Roosevelt, Governor 1900, both of them published 100 years ago. There are only a few copies left of these books, which are very important in understanding not only TR's years as Governor of New York but also his entire career and his philosophy of life and government. The Cyclopedia gives Roosevelt's thoughts and opinions in his own words, alphabetically and by subject, and contains well over 4000 quotations. Four speeches from Edison's original cylinder recordings are also part of this edition.

Steven Kingsley, who managed this project for Newmedia Publishing, states:

"We were given a very demanding task: To preserve the original layout of the Cyclopedia and Theodore Roosevelt's Gubernatorial Papers in the online editions. By achieving this historical "look and feel,' the online web book edition presents TR's works and achievements as they were published over a hundred years ago. Now anyone with Internet access can see, learn, and listen to him at any time.'
