About this Gallery
The White House Historical Association joins the nation in remembrance of First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Mrs. Carter maintained an active role in the White House, attending cabinet meetings and briefings, representing her husband at ceremonial occasions, and serving as the president's personal emissary to Latin-American countries. She also created the Office of the First Lady in 1977, which has since served as the workplace for the initiatives the first lady and her staff pursue. During her time in the White House Mrs. Carter worked with the White House Historical Association to expand the White House’s collection of paintings.
