Kennedy Records Digitized

The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library is set to unveil the largest digital archive of materials converted from pre-digital format from any administration. Nearly 300,000 documents have been formatted for online access. After their launch on Thursday, you can view them on the library's website from your couch, saving a trip to Boston.

The records that have been digitized include more than 200,000 pages of text, 300 reels of audio tape, 300 museum artifacts, 72 reels of moving images, and 1,500 photos, the National Archives said in a news release. It is the largest presidential archive available online, according to the Archives.

Caroline Kennedy, the former president's daughter and president of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, along with the museum's director Thomas Putnam and Archivist of the United States David Ferriero, will debut the documents on the 50th Anniversary of Kennedy's inauguration.
