"Meet the Museum: Spotlight on Home Movies" Program

Gary Mack passed away on July 15, 2015 at the age of 68. Mack developed a research interest in the Kennedy assassination in the 1970s and, after a career in broadcasting as an announcer, camera operator and producer, joined the Museum's staff in 1994 as archivist. He was named curator in 2000. One month after his passing, the Museum held this memorial tribute program: Gary Mack Memorial Tribute (youtube.com). - Stephen Fagin, Curator  

Many of the home movies featured in this public program may be viewed in their entirety in the Museum's online collections database: Home Movies – Collections – The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (jfk.org). In addition, many of the photographers, including Tina Towner Pender, George Reid, Jack Jernigan, Maury Sietz, George Jefferies, George Christian, Jackie Tindel and Jack W. Daniel, recorded oral histories with the Museum. These can also be found in the online collections database by searching the photographer's last name or by exploring the Oral History Collection: Oral History Collection – Collections – The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (jfk.org). - Stephen Fagin, Curator
