Is there a Website that has all US presidential addresses to the
nation(audio/video/text)?  I'd like to read and/or listen to some
historical presidential speeches.

ALL or Major?  You have stated 2 different parameters.

Thanks for your reply.  I would prefer "All" (which would include all
historical speeches by any US prsident), however I am most interested
in major addresses to the nation (i.e. relating to significant
historical events or war).  Whatever you can find would be great! 
Thanks!

I am not interested in "State of the Union" speeches
(http://www.c-span.org/executive/stateoftheunion.asp).  I am
interested in timely/event driven addresses to the nation (i.e. from
the Oval Office) which often occur as a result of a major event.

Might want to have a look at this site, as it seems to be as close as
you'll get to "All":

Thanks, pafalafa!  That's a cool link, but they don't seem to provide
access to the speeches...it's simply an index of holdings at their
library...unless I am using their site incorrectly.  I was hoping to
find a site that offered  either the audio/video/text of major
historical speeches by US presidents.

I haven't had a chance to do an in depth search, but you might want to
try the Library of Congress American Memory Project website:

Good luck!
