Within days of the Kennedy assassination, McNairy noticed a stack of recently-used photographic printing plates that had been discarded in a bin to be melted down and recycled.  Sensing that these photographic plates had historic value, McNairy saved as many as he could and kept them for four decades before donating them to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.  McNairy also recorded an oral history with the Museum in 2003.  - Stephen Fagin, Curator","This object is featured in the Museum's special exhibit, \"On Assignment: Dallas Times Herald 1963,\" which opened on April 29, 2026.","A native of Ireland, Eamon Kennedy was a staff photographer at the Dallas Times Herald in 1963. On the weekend of the Kennedy assassination, he captured images at Dallas Love Field, Parkland Memorial Hospital, the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff and Dallas police headquarters.
