President John F. Kennedy's favourite fish chowder and First Lady Laura Bush's guacamole are among nearly 200 dishes chosen from the National Archives of the United States in this book of historical and modern-day recipes. This unique collection of recipes from the records of the U.S. Federal Government also includes dishes from U.S. school lunch programs, government-sponsored radio shows, and war-time recipes meant to conserve wheat, sugar, and meat. This book, inspired by the exhibition What's Cooking, Uncle Sam? The Government's Effect on the American Diet at the National Archives Experience in Washington, DC, also provides historical tidbits from the presidential files, including the transcript of President George H.W. Bush's speech in which he expressed his hatred of broccoli, and a description of the hotdog parties hosted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

Americans proudly proclaim the United States "a nation of immigrants." Millions who came to the US found freedom and opportunity, but America's immigrant story has always been made up of individuals whose histories differed according to who they were, where they came from, and where, when and why they arrived. 'Attachments: Faces and Stories from America's Gates', based on a National Archives Experience exhibition of the same title, draws from the millions of immigration files in the U.S. National Archives to tell some of these unique tales. The catalogue combines prospective immigrants' photographs that were "attached" to a variety of immigration forms, as well as other fascinating documents, to explore the attachments of immigrants to family and community.
