About

The Untold Stories Project is a groundbreaking oral history and archival initiative designed to capture, curate, and communicate the lived experiences of those who served in the Carter-Mondale Administration. It seeks to offer a richer, more human portrait of presidential decision-making — one that blends policy, personality, and principle. Our goal is to produce the most comprehensive first-person history of a modern presidency, with insights that are urgently relevant to the challenges facing American democracy today. No other presidential administration has undertaken such an ambitious historical project. It is more important in today’s world than ever before.

This is a legacy project, not only for President Carter and Vice President Mondale, but for the thousands of public servants whose efforts helped shape a consequential presidency. For those who lived it, this is an opportunity to tell the full story. For future generations, it will be an enduring civic resource.
