Origins
The museum was founded by the Dallas County Historical Foundation. The CIA's 'liaison officer' was their third in charge, the Inspector General, Charles A. Briggs.[3]
Staff
In 1994 Gary Mack became an archivist and later curator of the Sixth Floor Museum. Under his curatorship, the museum moved to an ever firmer support for the conclusions of the Warren committee.[4]
Content
In December 1999, the Zapruder family donated the copyright to the Zapruder film to The Sixth Floor Museum, along with one of the first-generation copies made on November 22, 1963, and other copies of the film.
