A couple of hints:
Try the link on the library’s webpage to the Librarians’ Internet Index. Select History, then United States History, then United States Presidency. A treasure trove.
Try searching United States Presidency on Google. I got 583,000,000 results. Now try putting “United States Presidency” in quotation marks. It’s down to 232,000 results. Try putting site:edu afterwards to get even fewer.
Try searching historical timelines on Google.
