Obama Center vs Presidential Library

Published 3 days, 7 hours ago
Description

There’s been a lot of confusion about the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago — people call it the “Obama Library,” but it’s not an official presidential archive. Unlike traditional libraries run by NARA, this center was built to avoid the massive funding and bureaucratic hurdles of a NARA-run facility. President Obama wanted full creative control, and the foundation opted to digitize his records instead — paying NARA millions to scan millions of documents and artifacts, while the official papers remain safely stored elsewhere.
