"To bring together the records of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a Nation must believe in three things. 

It must believe in the past. 
It must believe in the future. 
It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgment in creating their own future." - Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 30, 1941

The Presidential Library network is administered by the Office of Presidential Libraries, a branch of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), located in College Park, MD.

Unlike traditional libraries, the presidential libraries preserve and make available to the public the papers, records, and other historical materials of U.S. Presidents since Herbert Hoover. Each library also maintains a museum offering a wide variety of informational public activity programs.

Grants are available to assist researchers studying the holdings of Presidential Libraries.
