In conjunction with this symposium, the Library created an interesting display which focused on: the cover-up, the prosecution, and the resulting reforms.  The display was shown in the Library in the 4th Floor display case.

The Library also prepared this page with links to historical information about Watergate.  To learn more about Watergate, please refer to these links:

• An overview of the Watergate Decade as presented by Journal E. (includes a nice collection of photographs)

• The Nixon Photographs of Fred J. Maroon, 1970-1974 - "I didn't realize how extraordinary this was going to be, or that I was starting on a four-year project when I began."
  -Fred J. Maroon, in an oral history interview at the National Museum of American History in June 1998.

• The Houston Chronicle Watergate Site includes a collection of links chronicling the Watergate controversy.

• See the security log of the Watergate complex for June 17th, 1972 - This log shows that on June 17th at 1:47 a.m., the security guard on duty at the Watergate Office Building called the police. The five burglars inside the Democratic National Committee Headquarters were then arrested by the police and found to have evidence that linked them to the Committee to Re-Elect the President.
