Presidential Library System

The Presidential Library System is a network of libraries and archives that preserve the official documents, papers, and records of U.S. Presidents. Managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), each library holds materials related to a specific President’s time in office, offering researchers and the public access to historical records and personal papers. These libraries serve as repositories for understanding presidential history, policies, and decisions, facilitating scholarship and public education about the nation's leadership and its historical context.
