Hidden Treasures at Presidential Libraries, Wednesday, March 5, 7:00 p.m.
You’ve heard about the presidential libraries scattered across America—but what do they contain?
Yanek Mieczkowski, presidential historian and Professor of History at Dowling College, will reveal the inside story on these unique institutions and explain how he has used them in his own historical research.
He will share surprises he has discovered in the libraries, and even explain how he has added to the collections himself.
Dr. Mieczkowski is the author of several presidential histories, most recently Eisenhower’s Sputnik Moment: The Race for Space and World Prestige (2013), and has contributed 37 entries to The American National Biography.
