What’s the JFK Presidential Library and museum ?

During a weekend visit to Boston on October 19, 1963, President Kennedy, along with John Carl Warnecke viewed several locations offered by Harvard as a site for the library and museum. At the time there were only four other Presidential Libraries: the Hoover Presidential Library, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, the Truman Library, and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library.   Kennedy had not decided on any design concept yet, but he felt that the existing Presidential Libraries were placed too far “away from scholarly resources.” 

 

After President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963, his family and friends discussed how to construct a library that would serve as a fitting memorial. A committee was formed to advise Kennedy's widow Jaqueline, who would make the final decision.  Also by this time fourteen architects were named to serve on a design advisory committee.
