Program, "Celebration, Presidential Inauguration of Barack H. Obama," [Newark City Hall?], Newark, N.J., 2009-1-20
Scope and Contents
Collection of various copies of newspapers, clippings, magazines, and other ephemera documenting Barack Obama's 2008 United States presidential election victory and his inauguration held on January 20, 2009. Much of the collection is iconic in origin or features many images of Barack Obama's campaign, election, and inauguration. Included is a copy of the New York Times Magazine that includes photographs of members of Obama's administration, several pictorials, clippings, magazine covers, and advertisements with many images of Obama himself or artwork of Obama. Given that many of the collection items are newspapers or clippings, there is news coverage of election night and Obama's inauguration, but also extensive stories detailing Obama and his family's background, President George W. Bush's last days in office, and news of John McCain's presidential election run.
