CLINTON LIBRARY
In addition to the archival collection and research
facilities, the Clinton Presidential Library and
Museum features exhibits, special events, and
educational programs. The museum includes replicas of
the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. Permanent
exhibits utilize documents, photographs, videos and
interactive stations. A timeline and alcoves highlight
domestic and foreign policy, as well as life in the
White House.
Presidential Libraries are not libraries in the usual
sense. They are archives and museums, preserving the
written record and physical history of our presidents,
while providing special programs and exhibits that
serve their communities. These libraries, described by
President Reagan as “classrooms of democracy,” belong
to the American people.
Beginning a tradition that continues to this day,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt raised private funds
and built a library, which he gave to the U.S.
government for operation through the National
Archives. In 1955, this process became law when the
U.S. Congress passed the Presidential Libraries Act.
The American Presidency is part
of a unique heritage that is yours to explore through
archives, museums, and special programs, Presidential
Libraries preserve the documents and artifacts of our
Presidents and provide insight into the times in which
these Presidents lived and served the nation.
