Work on this collection was performed by the National Digital Library Program (NDLP) team working in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division (M/B/RS), Hussein Hassan and Karen Lund, and by Marc Dudley of the NDLP.

Selection of films and sound recordings and the writing of framework materials was done by Karen Lund.

The catalog records for films from the Theodore Roosevelt Association Collection were revised for this presentation from records previously existing in the Library's holdings database. The majority of the records were revised by Antoinette O'Bryant, Brian Taves, and Yvette Sutton of M/B/RS. Under their direction, additional records were revised by Arlene Balkansky, Donna Daniel, Laurie Duncan, Pearline Hardy, Stephen Kharfen, Sharon Marshall, Pat Padua, Marzella Rhodes, Ethel Tillman, Betty Wilson, and Ruby Woodard, all also from M/B/RS. New catalog records were created for the Paper Print Collection selections by Brian Taves.

The catalog records for the four sound recordings were created by Nancy Seeger of M/B/RS.

The Web page was designed by Dominique Pickett and Tracey Salley.

Text was edited by Emily Lind Baker and Jurretta Jordan Heckscher.
