With the assistance of Rotarian/historian Doug Rudman, Jack Selway and the history project created histories, biographies, memories, writings and memorials for each president of Rotary International. These presidents pages are linked to the convention for that president, the home club of the president and any other articles which are relevant.

Indexes to the presidents, by groups of years, are found on the left. We also have a complete page of all the themes of the presidents.

The themes, a project of Doug Rudman, are also translated into multiple languages. The themes in languages other than English do not include the graphics and load more quickly. Also, there is a list of presidents' home clubs and all conventions of Rotary.

Much of the early design for this section was inspired by Rtn. Rachid Karoo, RC of Quatre Bornes, D9220, Mauritius

RIP, RIPE, and RIPN are abbreviations for Rotary International President (Elect) (Nominee)
