Presidential Libraries of the National Archives and Records Administration
The Presidential Library system is made up of ten Presidential Libraries.
This nationwide network of libraries is administered by the Office of Presidential Libraries, which is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), located in College Park, MD. These are not traditional libraries, but rather
repositories for preserving and making available the papers, records, and other
historical materials of U.S. Presidents since Herbert Hoover.
Each Presidential Library contains a museum and provides an active series of public
programs. Also included in the Presidential Library system is the Nixon Presidential Materials Staff, which administers the Nixon Presidential materials
under the terms of the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act, and the William J. Clinton Presidential Materials Project in Little Rock, Arkansas, which administers the Clinton Presidential materials. When a President leaves office, NARA establishes a Presidential project until a new Presidential
library is built and transferred to the Government.
