The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum houses original papers and correspondences of the Kennedy Administration. It is located in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, MA. The library is not open to the public, but the museum, which houses many exhibits, is.

A committee of friends and family worked with Jacqueline Kennedy to select an architect for the presidential library shortly after President Kennedy’s death. After much deliberation over the selection of an architect I. M. Pei was chosen. Mrs. Kennedy said she felt a personal connection with him and that “he was so full of promise like Jack”. Pei worked closely with Jacqueline Kennedy and the Kennedy family on the design and construction of the Library and Museum. After numerous delays and a change in location the library and museum was finally completed and dedicated by President Jimmy Carter in 1979. It was only the fifth Presidential Library in existence at the time of its completion.
