On Valentine’s Day, 1962, eight million Americans turned on their televisions to watch Jacqueline Kennedy give a tour of the newly restored White House. 

The televised program earned Jacqueline Kennedy an honorary Emmy Award and sparked a renewed enthusiasm for the history and beauty of the White House. 

This week, the Kennedy Library has opened and made available for research the first section of the Personal Papers of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.  The collection provides new insight into the First Lady’s restoration efforts, as well as her extensive knowledge of the historic furnishings, artwork and décor that would set the standard for future presidencies.
