Remembering President Jimmy Carter

This post was created in collaboration with Sarah Bseirani, Archivist, and Hilda Gitchell, Archives Technician, in the Still Picture Branch.

Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on December 29, 2024 at his home in Plains, Georgia at the age of 100. At the time of his passing, President Carter was the longest-lived president in U.S. history. In remembrance of our 39th President, the Still Picture Branch presents photographs that highlight the career and life of Jimmy Carter.

While the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library houses the vast majority of records and photographs related to President Carter, the Still Picture Branch also houses a selection of relevant photographs, particularly those created by federal agencies in the executive branch. The Still Picture Branch also has a selection of official White House photographs; however, the primary collection of White House photography can be found at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library.

The photographs included in this post are found within the holdings of the Still Picture Branch or the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and have no known copyright restrictions. If you have any questions about the images in this post or the holdings of the Still Picture Branch, please contact us at [email protected]. Questions about the photographs from the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library may be directed to [email protected].

PUBLICATION OF PHOTOGRAPHS FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES STILL PICTURE BRANCH-RRSS

Generally, copies of photographic records held by the National Archives may be published without special permission or additional fees. The National Archives does not grant exclusive or non-exclusive publication privileges. Copies of Federal records, as part of the public domain, are equally available to all. A small percentage of photographs in our holdings are or may be subject to copyright restrictions. The National Archives does not confirm the copyright status of photographs but will provide any information known about said status. It is the user's responsibility to obtain all necessary clearances. Any use of these items is made at the researcher's or purchaser's own risk.

Proper credit lines are encouraged in the interest of good documentation. They also help inform the public about government photographic resources that are available.

*Because so many of our requests for information cite credits and captions that appear in published works, the inclusion of a photo number in hard copy and electronic publications is of great assistance to both us and the public.

Examples of preferred credit lines are as follows:

• National Archives photo no. 210-G-C241
• Credit National Archives (photo no. 83-G-41368)
• Courtesy National Archives, photo no. 83-G-41430
• National Archives (210-G-A14)

If using a large number of our images, the National Archives will appreciate receiving copies of publications that contain our photographs. Such copies can be sent to the Still Picture Branch or the Library, National Archives and Records Administration.
