This Web exhibit is adapted from a physical exhibit opened on 4 February 1999 in the Long Gallery as one portion of an evening celebrating the presidents who were members of the Cosmos Club. A videotape of the event is available in the Cosmos Club archives. The physical exhibit was dismantled in 2000.

The exhibit was produced by the History Committee in conjunction with the Art Committee. History Committee member Leonard Rapport conducted the archival research for the exhibit. Other members of the committee contributed to the search for images and artifacts. Victoria Harden curated the exhibit, wrote the script, and adapted the exhibit for this website. Art Committee member Dorothy Fall designed and installed the exhibit. Dean Allard (History) and Jack Perlmutter (Art) coordinated with the Program Committee on the evening event.

Cosmos Club librarian Lura Young provided assistance with documents and photos in the Club archives. The Library of Congress Manuscript Division and image archive, the Office of the White House Curator, the National Trust Woodrow Wilson House, the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, and the Vermont Historical Society all provided images and artifacts used in the exhibit. The families of President William Howard Taft and William Hitz also loaned artifacts and images from their personal collections. Cosmos Club Assistant Manager Margaret Clark coordinated production. General Manager Bill Caldwell and Victoria Harden photographed the exhibit.
