Presidential libraries are institutions that preserve and provide access to the documents, artifacts, and records of U.S. presidents. Each library is dedicated to a specific president, showcasing their life, achievements, and historical context. These libraries often include exhibits, educational programs, and research facilities for scholars and the public. Established by the Presidential Libraries Act of 1955, these libraries are managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). They serve as important resources for understanding American history and the presidency, allowing visitors to explore the legacies of presidents like Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.
