The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, sent shockwaves throughout the world and ignited a wave of conspiracy theories that have persisted to this day. While the official investigation concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing the president, many people believe that there was a larger conspiracy at play, involving the CIA, the FBI, or even the U.S. government itself.

The "It Did Not Start With JFK" collection, curated by the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC),seeks to challenge the notion that the assassination of JFK was the beginning of modern conspiracy theories. The collection presents a wide range of historical documents, articles, and artifacts that trace the evolution of conspiracy theories surrounding assassinations, from the ancient world to the present day.

The collection is divided into five main sections:

1. Ancient Assassinations and Conspiracies: This section explores the origins of assassination conspiracy theories in ancient Greece, Rome, and China. It includes documents such as the trial records of Socrates and the assassination of Julius Caesar.
2. Medieval Assassinations and Conspiracies: This section focuses on the role of assassination in medieval European history. It includes documents such as the chronicles of the Crusades and the assassination of Thomas Becket.
3. Renaissance Assassinations and Conspiracies: This section examines the rise of assassination as a political tool during the Renaissance. It includes documents such as the memoirs of Niccolò Machiavelli and the assassination of Lorenzo de' Medici.
4. Early Modern Assassinations and Conspiracies: This section covers the period from the Enlightenment to the American Revolution. It includes documents such as the writings of Voltaire and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
5. Modern Assassinations and Conspiracies: This section explores the development of assassination conspiracy theories in the 20th and 21st centuries. It includes documents such as the Warren Commission Report and the 9/11 Truth Movement.

The "It Did Not Start With JFK" collection is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of assassination conspiracy theories. It provides a comprehensive overview of the development of these beliefs over time, and it challenges the popular notion that they are a recent phenomenon.

The collection is also a reminder that assassination conspiracy theories are not always harmless. They can lead to violence, distrust, and division. It is important to remember that the vast majority of assassinations are not the result of conspiracies, and that the search for truth should always be based on evidence, not on speculation.
