Web Site of the Week: jfklibrary.org
Posted by: Christine Bulson
Since tomorrow is President’s Day, it is appropriate this week to feature the web site of a presidential library. The John F. Kennedy Library is a beautiful building designed by I. M. Pei, located on Columbia Point in Boston. For those that cannot visit the library in person, jfklibrary.org will give students, scholars and anyone interested in presidential history an introduction to the library. The site has the usual links to a virtual tour, information on permanent and special exhibits and research online and at the library. With a quick search the original transcript of an interview with Leonard Bernstein about his relationship with JKF was discovered. A press release from the library this week announced that the library has made available the first section of the Personal Papers of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis which provide a glimpse of her work to restore state rooms of the White House.
