The John G. Tower Digital Media Collection is a cooperative effort between Southwestern University and Southern Methodist University.

Southwestern’s A. Frank Smith, Jr. Library Center holds the John G. Tower Papers. SMU is home to the John Goodwin Tower Center for Political Studies. The center promotes the study and discussion of politics and international affairs, and engages students in public service through insightful teaching and hands-on research. SMU’s Central University Libraries provides a full range of digitization and digital library services through the Norwick Center for Digital Services.

For this project, Southwestern selected 30 multimedia objects from its John G. Tower Papers special collection, including film, video, and audio recordings by and about John Tower. The objects were digitized and formatted for the web by SMU’s Norwick Center for Digital Services.
