The Truman Library is hiring a new Education Specialist! Learn more and apply here: usajobs.gov/job/788368700
Today's #Harry140 post features the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Truman Library! The ceremony took place as part of Mr. Truman’s birthday celebration in 1955. In this photo, HST is holding a shovel-full of dirt while others in the background look on. catalog.archives.gov/id/350382694
For #Harry140 this week, we have a wedding! Harry & Bess’s only child, Margaret, married Clifton Daniel on April 21, 1956. Many of the photos we have of Margaret’s wedding are copyrighted, as Life magazine covered her wedding & published many photos. catalog.archives.gov/id/348729911
#OTD in 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt died and Harry S. Truman was sworn in as President at 7:09 p.m. This photo shows the swearing-in ceremony and many of the Cabinet officers and others present. catalog.archives.gov/id/338954914
This #MenuMonday, we're featuring a menu for which we also have a recipe! #OTD in 1948, the Trumans had scalloped eggplant with dinner. You can try it yourself! The link includes both the handwritten & typed version. Menu: catalog.archives.gov/id/7583220; recipe: catalog.archives.gov/id/139308908
This week’s #Harry140 photo is a post-Presidential one! People would often drive by the Truman Home, hoping to see a glimpse of Mr. Truman. They would catch him while he was outside & he would speak with visitors. trumanlibrary.gov/photograph-rec…
This week's #MenuMonday has another potentially controversial ingredient - coconut! You either love it or you hate it. #OTD in 1948, the Trumans has coconut cream pie for dessert after dinner. What's your opinion on coconut? catalog.archives.gov/id/7583211
This week's #MoreThanFirstLadies theme for #WomensHistoryMonth is Bess's time as First Lady! This YouTube clip shows footage from one of Bess's first official appearances as First Lady: youtube.com/watch?v=ZlFG0i…
On this #MenuMonday, who has heard of blancmange? It's a dessert consisting of milk or cream, sugar, ground almonds, and (....wait for it....) gelatin!
The Truman Library is hiring a Museum Technician! Learn more and apply here: usajobs.gov/job/779962600
For #WomensHistoryMonth, we will be talking about Bess all month! This week's theme is "Before They Were First Ladies." We recently digitized this letter that Bess wrote to her grandfather, George P. Gates, around 1890 at the age of 5. #MoreThanFirstLadies catalog.archives.gov/id/351273482
This #MenuMonday in the category of unusual food combinations, what do we think of the first course with dinner, apricot juice and oysters on the half-shell? catalog.archives.gov/id/7583186
Our #Harry140 photo this week shows HST as an Army Reservist! This is from 1930 & shows HST (left) with John W. Snyder (center) & Harry Vaughan at camp in Fort Riley, Kansas. Snyder would go on to serve as Truman’s Secretary of the Treasury & Vaughan served as HST's military aide
The #MenuMonday is another culinary mystery! Does anyone know what Virginia Pudding is? catalog.archives.gov/id/7583178
#Harry140 this week is from one of HST's vacation trips! In February 1948, he visited Puerto Rico & Cuba in addition to Key West, Florida. This new photo to our collection shows him saluting unidentified servicemen before leaving the U. S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Today is the 139th anniversary of the birth of First Lady Bess W. Truman! We recently digitized this letter that she wrote to her mother, Madge, in 1942, in which she writes about going to her favorite fish place for dinner on her birthday. catalog.archives.gov/id/349244026
The Truman Library is hiring! We are hiring a Supervisory Museum Curator. Learn more and apply here: usajobs.gov/job/775886600
This week's #MenuMonday is for an official luncheon with the Prime Minister of Canada #OTD in 1949. Is it just us, or do "brown potato balls" sound an awful lot like tater tots?
#Harry140 photo this week is from the Greta Kempton Papers. It shows HST participating in a Masonic ceremony. Ms. Kempton painted a portrait of HST in his Masonic regalia as Grand Master of Missouri. Ms. Kempton used this for reference for her portrait. catalog.archives.gov/id/350382716
This #MenuMonday, it's time for another lesson in types of fruit desserts! #OTD in 1950, the Trumans enjoyed an apple crisp for dessert after supper. Crisps are a type of fruit dessert covered with a streusel-like topping that contains oats. catalog.archives.gov/id/7583996

We’ve been digitizing lots of great stuff and just found this page from a narrative report with clear information about where we should go to find the missing pictures...but, #ArchivesTeachableMoment, 86 years later no one knows where McKenny’s Office is! Just sayin’...
Heads or tails? JFK performed the coin toss at the start of the 1963 Orange Bowl, held #otd on January 1. The University of Alabama and the University of Oklahoma faced off, with Alabama winning 17-0. jfklibrary.org/asset-viewer/a…
The Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum wishes everyone a Happy New Year! In observance of the holiday, the Museum is closed today. We will reopen tomorrow.
#DYK today is #NationalScienceFictionDay? We’re showing off our museum gallery banner of the father of cool Sci-fi movies, Star Wars! President Carter saw the release of both Star Wars in 1977 and the Empire Strikes Back in 1980 during his administration!
#HappyNewYear! In 2024, we'll have some great events for the 50th Anniversary of the Ford Presidency (#38at50). To start, we're extending the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Express holiday train display for an extra week, through January 8th. If you haven't yet, come check it out!
Two weeks after President Carter took office, he delivered his Fireside Chat, announcing the creation of @ENERGY & asking everyone to work together to end the energy crisis. This #ArchivesCommunity is about coming together for a common mission. NAID: 173549 #ArchivesHashtagParty
For this month's #ArchivesHashtagParty, it's all about #ArchivesCommunity. We start by showcasing our community and Herbert Hoover's hometown community of West Branch, IA. These photos were taken in 1908! (31-1908-07, 31-1908-40, 31-1908-42, 31-1908-43)
It's time for #ArchivesCommunity! The variety of farm products shown in this community refrigerator are being stored by the members of a cooperative refrigerator association in Kensington, Georgia in 1942.
The periodic table - but make it history! Everyone our Education departments take on the New Deal Periodic Table! fdrlibrary.org/documents/3566… #ArchivesScience
Here is one of the largest, 3'x5', and most arcane objects in our holdings, perfect for the #ArchivesScience #ArchivesHashtagParty! This circa 1970's Plutonium Chemist's Periodic Table was created by engineers that worked at the controversial Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant.
It doesn't get more #ArchivesScience than dissecting frogs! These Madison College students (and budding scientists) work together to identify the anatomical features of their specimens. #ArchivesHashtagParty
We have to brush up on our #ArchivesScience knowledge for this #ArchivesHashtagParty so are heading to the science classrooms at the @AF_Academy's iconic Fairchild Hall! Here we see it under construction in August, 1958.
How fortunate that the day of the #ArchivesScience #ArchivesHashtagParty is the day President Carter established the DOE in 1977 & brought most Federal energy activities under one umbrella to provide the framework for a comprehensive & balanced national energy plan. NAID 175777
The U.S. Assay Offices of the @usmint relied heavily on #ArchivesScience in order to test the purity of the bullion it took in to make coins! Here we see an 1890 order from the Helena office for oxalic acid and rubber tubing. #ArchivesHashtagParty
Here's one for all you #Oppenheimer fans - after Albert Einstein sent this letter to FDR, a scientific committee was formed to study whether a nuclear weapon was feasible. This ultimately led to the creation of the Manhattan Project. #ArchivesScience
We are honored to announce that @POTUS will join the #TrumanCivilRights Symposium, commemorating the 75th anniversary of @HarrySTruman75’s historic decision to sign Executive Order 9981 to end segregation in the U.S. Armed Forces. bit.ly/3DfkAFS
#SaveTheDate of August 9th! In two weeks, we are opening our new temporary exhibit "A Heartbeat Away: The American Vice-Presidency" at the Museum in #GrandRapids. We'll also be announcing more events to support the exhibit in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
