Towner Collection

As President and Mrs. Kennedy’s motorcade turned onto Elm Street in Dealey Plaza, the Towner family stood on the southwest corner of Houston and Elm streets directly across from the Texas School Book Depository entrance. Jim Towner photographed the Kennedy limousine turning onto Elm Street while daughter Tina used the family’s movie camera to capture the same moments seconds before the shooting began. This Highlight includes records for both Towner cameras, four still images and the Towner home movie from November 22, 1963, as well as a 2008 oral history with Tina Towner.
