Two new video selections are now available on Kansas Memory. Bob Beatty, Political Science Department, Washburn University, produced both videos as part of the Kansas Governors Recorded History and Documentary Project (Dr. Bob Beatty and Washburn University, 2005). The videos present raw footage of interviews conducted by Beatty with former Kansas governors.
The first presents an interview with Governor John Anderson discussing his experience as governor of Kansas from January 9, 1961 to January 11, 1965. The interview is the basis for Beatty's article "'For the Benefit of the People': A Conversation with Former Governor John Anderson, Jr.," Kansas History, v30 (Winter 2007/2008).
The second presents an interview with Governor William Avery discussing his experience as governor of Kansas from January 11, 1965 to January 9, 1967. The interview is the basis for Beatty's article "'You have to like people': A Conversation with Former Governor William H. Avery," Kansas History, v30 (Spring 2007/2008).
Additional videos will appear on Kansas Memory periodically as we upload new content. Use the category Type of Material--Film and Video to check back for new video uploads.
