THE PRESIDENTIAL TIMELINE, a joint project of the National Archives’ twelve Presidential Libraries and the Learning Technology Center at the University of Texas at Austin, makes primary and secondary source materials from the Libraries’ collections readily available and free of charge to students, educators, researchers, and other learners around the world. Launched on Presidents’ Day, the site features a timeline for each president, theme-based exhibits, and educational activities. In addition to hundreds of unique documents, images, audio and video, it also includes comparative timelines chronicling such themes as the civil rights movement and presidential approval ratings. The JFK portion of the site features a special exhibit on the establishment of the Peace Corps.
