Hulton Archive—Getty Images  by [Dan Kedmey](https://time.com/author/dan-kedmey/)  ## Dan Kedmey Aug 5, 2014 12:39 PM UTC Raw and candid interview footage of Richard Nixon describing his last days in office was [published](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpPc8FImp3GGSG32rLu4XXec0dTtykneu) by his presidential library on Tuesday, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of his resignation. The Nixon Presidential Library & Museum, along with the Richard Nixon Foundation, pulled more than 30 hours of largely unseen and forgotten footage from the University of Georgia archives, and culled the moments when Nixon describes, with startling candor, his fight to stay in office and painful decision to step down. The interviews took place 10 years after his resignation with his former White House aide Frank Gannon. The first of those interview segments was [released](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpPc8FImp3GGSG32rLu4XXec0dTtykneu) on the YouTube channel, “A President Resigns,” Tuesday, with more segments to come through Saturday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3082278/richard-nixon-resignation-anniversary/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3082278/richard-nixon-resignation-anniversary/"},"headline":"Nixon Describes Last Days in Office in Newly Released Tapes","datePublished":"2014-08-05T12:39:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:30:11.770Z","description":"Video resurfaced to commemorate 40th anniversary of 37th president's resignation","url":"https://time.com/3082278/richard-nixon-resignation-anniversary/","keywords":["White House","Richard Nixon","resignation"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltad16eed2d8acc34b/69869e67adae447dcb544691/2695962.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Dan Kedmey","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/dan-kedmey/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltad16eed2d8acc34b/69869e67adae447dcb544691/2695962.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Tricky Dicky","caption":"Tricky Dicky","creditText":"Hulton Archive—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3082278/richard-nixon-resignation-anniversary/","name":"Nixon Describes Last Days in Office in Newly Released Tapes"}}]}] ```
