Presidential Papers

Presidential papers are official documents and records created or received by a U.S. president during their time in office. These include speeches, memos, correspondence, photographs, and other materials that reflect the president's work and decisions. They are typically preserved for historical, legal, and transparency purposes, and are often managed by dedicated archives or repositories, such as the National Archives. These papers provide insight into a president’s actions, policies, and legacy, and are considered important for research, education, and maintaining government accountability.
