Staff Picks: Mementos from a Presidency

From a young woman's sketch of John F. Kennedy with a mustache to boxes of dog treats discovered in his Oval Office desk on the day he died, the JFK Presidential Library and Museum preserves artifacts that reveal personal, unexpected, and deeply human sides of history. In this episode, we speak with Supervisory Archivist Abbey Malangone and Museum Curator Janice Hodson about some revealing items from the Library's vast collections — from public tributes to everyday objects — and the stories they continue to tell about President Kennedy's life and legacy.
