This week, after a year of work, the Miller Center is proudly launching its brand new website.
Brighter, cleaner, and much easier to navigate, the new mobile-friendly site allows visitors to quickly discover our many resources and features related to the American presidency, easily access thousands of hours of Miller Center programming, and truly understand the importance of historical scholarship to the future of American democracy.
Here are some of the highlights of our new design:
The new home page focuses visitors on five core areas.
BOLDER, SIMPLER HOME PAGE
The new site centers around five core areas:
The Presidency—where you’ll find our popular American President biographies
Issues & Policy—background and reports on America’s governance challenges
Experts—all of the Miller Center’s scholars, all in one place
American Forum—the home for our weekly PBS public affairs TV program
American President is the nation’s premier source for deep background on America’s 44 presidents, visited by more than 5 million students and educators each year. Now, on each president’s page, you’ll find biographical information, speeches, essays, related videos, interviews, and other resources pulled from across the Miller Center’s offerings.
White House recordings give insights into a president's personality and the way he faced challenges.
Six presidents, from FDR through Nixon, kept a tape recorder running inside the Oval Office. The Miller Center has all the Secret White House Tapes, and our experts are continuing work on transcribing, interpreting, and making them available to the public.
Miller Center scholars have conducted the official oral histories for the Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, and Bush 43 Administrations. In our Interviews with the Administration section, we have transcripts and recordings of in-depth interviews with hundreds of top officials from each of these administrations.
At a moment when political partisanship and rancor is most acute, the Miller Center is showing a better way with our First Year Project: Republicans and Democrats pulling together to help the new president lead the most effective first year possible.
EMPHASIS ON OUR EXPERTS
Each Miller Center expert has an individual news feed to highlight appearances on millercenter.org or in the media.
