U.S. Presidential Libraries

U.S. Presidential Libraries are facilities that preserve and exhibit the papers, records, and artifacts of past presidents, serving as centers for research and education. Managed by the National Archives and Records Administration, each library is part of a larger system that helps the public learn about presidential history and leadership. While some libraries are standalone buildings, others are part of museums or university campuses. They aim to provide insight into a president’s time in office and the broader historical context, supporting transparency and historical understanding for scholars and the public alike.
