Our Mission
The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for

the United States Senate is dedicated to
educating the public about our government,
invigorating public discourse,
encouraging participatory democracy, and
inspiring the next generation of citizens
and leaders to engage in the public square.
4
A Center for Learning and Engagement
The Institute will be a dynamic center of

bi-partisan learning and engagement that
takes advantage of cutting-edge interactive
technology to provide each visitor with a
unique and information rich, personalized
experience that will bring history alive.
The continuing success of our democracy
depends on the engagement of an informed
electorate, and the mission of the Institute is
to encourage participation and make
information easily accessible.
5
Partnership with UMass Boston
The Institute will be located on the UMass Boston
campus, at Columbia Point, adjacent to the
John F. Kennedy Presidential Library.

The Building
The building has been designed by world-renowned architect Rafael Viñoly.

Experiential Learning
Our goal is to provide each visitor, each class,

each teacher, each student, each life-long
learner with an insight into the workings of
our government that they cannot get
anywhere else.
Historical documents and information will

be digitized and readily available and can be
sorted according to the user’s preference.

Chamber Immersion Activities
Classes and visitor groups will participate in a range
of activities:
A video presentation will introduce the
visitor to the Senate’s structure, concept
and history.
Visitors will be able to browse interactive
screens on the Chamber walls and desks.
Visitors will have the opportunity to
immerse themselves in the role of current
and past Senators, while focusing on a
specific issue. They will study the issue,
debate with other “Senators”, negotiate,
argue and vote.
15
Interactive Chamber Desks
Each Chamber desktop will provide information

about the Senators who have occupied that seat,
including their voting records on historical issues.

Rather than providing answers in the
form of traditional exhibits, the Institute
will provide infrastructure for visitors to
gain insight into the deliberations of the
U.S. Senate.
Through a rich multimedia archive, the
exhibits will allow visitors to explore
indepth the history of the U.S. Senate.
This archive will eventually cover every
action taken by the U.S. Senate, including
votes on legislation and resolutions,
confirmation of nominations, and
ratification of treaties.

Oral History Project
The Edward M. Kennedy Oral History Project is the
largest oral history project of an American political figure
ever undertaken.
Done in partnership with the Miller Center of Public

Affairs at the University of Virginia, the project will
document the contributions of Senator Kennedy during
his 47 years of service and the role of the Senate itself in
shaping America’s recent history.
200 persons were interviewed, including current and former

members of the Senate and House, Administration
officials, foreign leaders, Senate staff, issue advocates,
journalists, family and friends. Senator Kennedy personally
participated in 29 in-depth oral history interviews,
producing over 60 hours of taped audio.
25
Oral History Project
The project will help bring the past alive for future
generations and enable students, scholars, journalists,
and the public to learn about American democracy
directly from those who have had a role in guiding
it. When completed, the audio tapes and transcripts
will be available at the Institute to scholars, students,
journalists and the public.
“Senator Kennedy’s oral history will be a treasure for
future historians interested not only in the life of an
extraordinary politician involved in the central events
of our age, but for all those who wish to follow the
institutional life of the United States Senate for a
period spanning more than forty years.”
– Doris Kearns Goodwin,
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian
