Discover Rarely Seen Archival Material From 12 Presidential Libraries

Web surfers who happen to be nostalgia lovers or history buffs, you have yet another reason to celebrate: Recently, the C-SPAN network introduced Presidential Libraries: History Uncovered, a Web site packed with "never- or rarely-seen film, video, private home movies, sound recordings, photographs, documents and artifacts collected from inside the libraries' vaults." The archival material is from 12 presidential libraries-Herbert Hoover's to Bill Clinton's.

Some of the highlights include:
  • Silent black & white footage from Herbert Hoover's 1931 visit to his fishing camp in the Shenandoah Mountains

  • A 1933 biographical film about Franklin Roosevelt

  • A 1963 home movie featuring President Kennedy and his wife at their retreat in Middleburg, Virginia

A must-see, unique resource that you'll want to visit again and again!
