Living Library of Michigan
Political History

The goals of the Living Library are to record the stories, experiences, and observations of major political figures in Michigan and to make these interviews available online, giving everyone the opportunity to learn more about Michigan's rich political history.

Accordingly, interviews with people who have observed or chronicled Michigan's political history - as well as participated actively - have been recorded on DVD and distributed to local cable stations, state universities and other interested broadcast outlets. These interviews are also now online for all to enjoy at any time.

A special thanks to Congressman John Dingell for sponsoring this site.

All interviews recorded after January 1, 2013, will be recorded in HD and available online. To adjust picture quality, please see instructions below.
