ABOUT THE JFK LIBRARY:
The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston is dedicated to the memory of our nation's 35th president and to all those who, through the art of politics and public service, seek a new and better world.
The library and museum’s building was designed by famed architect I.M. Pei, although at the time, Pei was early in his career and much less well-known than the more established and prolific architects Jacqueline Kennedy passed over when choosing him. The library was dedicated in 1979.
The museum’s extensive exhibits portray the life, leadership, and legacy of President Kennedy; convey his enthusiasm for politics and public service; and illustrate the nature of the office of the president.
The JFK Library and its 10 acres are situated at the end of the peninsula that also houses the University of Massachusetts in Boston. The site overlooks the sea that President Kennedy so loved, and visitors are treated to unobstructed 360-degree views of Boston, the city that launched Kennedy’s career. Abutting the library’s site is Boston Harbor, its surface punctuated with leisure and commuter boats, cruise ships, fishing vessels, transport barges, sea birds, and the historic Boston Harbor Islands.
Students and scholars can arrange library visits to research primary sources documenting mid-20th century politics, and the life and legacy of President Kennedy, his administration, and his family
Those unable to visit the library in person can take advantage of the massive archivist-led digitization project that’s made a significant portion of the library’s holdings available to anyone with curiosity and internet access.
