From a channel Lumen includes in full: This is the official channel of a NARA presidential library. Its uploads are scholarly history lectures and book talks, museum exhibit documentaries, and archival film. Every transcript sampled shows sober historical exposition with no clickbait or entertainment framing. The only doubtful items are livestream VODs ('Third Thursday' chat broadcasts) and costumed first-person 'portrayed by' performances, and both can be excluded by title pattern.
