**Photo Database               Now Available**

The Truman Library               audiovisual collection photograph               database is now available for researchers. The creation and               initial input into the database were made possible in part by support               from the Institute of Museum and Library               Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology               Act as administered by the state of Missouri. The database offers               a wonderful view of the wide range of photographs in the library's               collection. From nineteenth century Truman family photos to images               of World War II fighter jets to President Truman's funeral ceremonies               in 1972, the database takes researchers through the life and times               of Harry S. Truman.

The database               at this time holds only a small percentage of the images from the               library's collection. Researchers will want to check frequently               for new images as the database continues to grow.

**Permanent               Exhibition *Harry S. Truman: His               Life and Times* Open**

The               Truman Presidential Museum & Library is pleased to open the               first comprehensive exhibition about Harry Truman's entire life               and his family ever displayed at the museum. This 4,000 square foot               exhibition is the final component of the Museum & Library's               $22.5 million renovation, made possible by the success of the *Creating               a Classroom for Democracy* fund raising campaign. 

*Harry S. Truman: His Life and               Times* is designed to engage young people and their parents,               grandparents and friends. It is partly based on the letters that               Harry Truman wrote to Bess Wallace Truman, which are perhaps the               most revealing personal writings that exist for any President of               the United States. The exhibition includes many artifacts from the               museum's 35,000 piece collection.

**World War                 II in Europe**

The               Harry S. Truman Library Institute is thrilled to offer "World               War II in Europe", a trip by Matterhorn Travel marking               the 60th Anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. Travel               will be August 9th to August 17th or August 9th to 23rd. Tom Brokaw               called the World War II generation "The Greatest Generation."               Certainly this generation saved our western civilization from Nazi               terror. As President Roosevelt expressed it, the generation had               a "Rendezvous with Destiny."
