History Happy Hour: Treasures from the Audiovisual Archives of HST and JFK

Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum
Independence, MO

The Truman Library's new audiovisual archivist, Laurie Austin, worked at the Kennedy Library for 13 years before making the move to Kansas City. She brings with her some of her favorite materials from the Kennedy Library, and adds to it some of the treasures she has encountered in her first few months on the job. With catchy campaign jingles, hysterical physical fitness skits, and persistent White House squirrels, there's no end to the gems to be found in the audiovisual archives.
