The Carillon

In honor of the 100th birthday of Distinguished Fellow and former Secretary of State George Shultz, the Library & Archives presents On the Record, a new HI Stories online exhibit on the life and work of Secretary Shultz from his time as a Marine in WWII to his work at Hoover today. This digital presentation is based on the exhibition installed earlier this year in the new Annenberg Conference Room at the Hoover Institution.
