Jimmy Carter Library and Museum


Jimmy Carter Library and Museum [http://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/ ] - Administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum was opened in 1986. For the benefit of researchers and others who cannot make it to Atlanta, this website provides access to some of the speeches and letters of President Carter, along with biographical information about members of the Carter family. First-time visitors will want to start at the "Documents and Photographs" section. Here, they can look over a special exhibit on the Camp David Accords, read oral history transcripts from members of Carter's cabinet, and peruse Carter's official diary from his time in office. Scholars and those wishing to visit and make use of the library's collections should look over the library information section, which contains details on how to begin searching the collection, and a link for visitors to ask questions online. Rounding out the site is a virtual tour of the museum and library. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2007. http://scout.wisc.edu/ [Photo: http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/election04/image/carter.jpg]
