The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum
collects, preserves, and makes available primary-source materials, in all
formats, pertaining to the life and times of John F. Kennedy, the 35th
President of the United States. The Library's holdings include the papers of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy,
Joseph P. Kennedy, and Rose Kennedy, as well as close to 400 other collections: those of
Kennedy family members, Kennedy administration officials and associates, and
pertinent individuals, authors, and institutions. The John F. Kennedy Library
also houses the Ernest Hemingway
Collection and the John F.
Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy Oral History Collections.
Audiovisual Collections
Progress on the
building began shortly after the death of JFK. On 13 January 1964, the then Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy announced that a taped oral-history project was to be
undertaken for inclusion in the library. The project would feature his
Administration staff, friends, family and politicians from home and abroad.
