List of Holdings

The List of Holdings contains information about the archival collections at the LBJ Library: click on the tabs to the left to go directly to a section, or Start Here for an introduction.

For information on visiting the LBJ Library Reading Room, please see lbjlibrary.org/research. Appointments are required and must be made at least one week in advance of your proposed arrival date.

It is all here:

the story of our time—with the bark off.

This Library does not say, "This is how I saw it," but, "This is how the documents show it was."

There is no record of a mistake, nothing critical, ugly, or unpleasant that is not included in the files here. We have papers from my 40 years of public service in one place, for friend and foe to judge, to approve or disapprove.

I do not know how this period will be regarded in years to come. But that is not the point. This Library will show the facts—not just the joy and triumphs, but the sorrow and failures, too.
