The Dunlap library collection began in the early 1960s with original letters from about half the presidents and expanded through gifts or purchases. Carter manuscripts were scarce, explained University librarian Robert A. McCown, since his presidency produced limited official writing. Before Johnson letters surfaced, dealers reported no Carter letters on the market.
