Beginning in 1876 with the contested Hayes-Tildon election through the Bush-Gore battle in 2000 and the Trump-Clinton contest in 2016, Florida has played a crucial role in determining the outcome of presidential elections.
Boyd Murphree, Political Papers Archivist for Special and Area Studies Collections at the University of Florida’s George A. Smathers Libraries, will talk about Florida’s role in some of the nation’s presidential primaries and general elections from 1876 to 2016 and present images illustrating those elections from UF’s large and diverse holdings of presidential election documents, publications, and artifacts.
