The Pare Lorentz Film Center at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum offers multimedia resources to teachers, students and the general public to enhance understanding the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the life and times of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.

The Center is named for Pare Lorentz, a pioneering documentary film maker, who worked for Roosevelt's New Deal producing classic documentary films describing environmental and social problems in the 1930s and 1940s.
