This site is part of the National Archives and Records Administration <http://www.nara.gov/> and covers the life and career of Lyndon Baines Johnson, focusing on his presidency from 1963 to 1969. As currently constructed, the site serves best as an archive of primary sources, although it tries to do more by featuring electronic exhibits, teaching resources, and links to other sites. |

The "Archives Collections" area contains information for those wishing to do research at the LBJ Library, including an online grant application and lists of the library's holdings for Johnson's Pre-Presidential, Presidential, and Post-Presidential papers, other personal and organizational records, oral histories, photographs, and phone conversations. The online photograph archive consists of three Web pages containing twenty-seven images available in both JPEG and TIFF formats. The oral histories available online are stored in Adobe Acrobat format, and the library provides a link where visitors can download the program for free. The staff has also prepared separate guidelines for research on foreign policy topics and plans to add guides for domestic issues and key individuals. |
