US Presidential Libraries Contribute to Research, Education

On April 25, former presidents and cabinet members will be in Dallas for the inauguration of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Every modern president has a library in his name starting with Herbert Hoover, who left the White House in 1933. These institutions are the official repositories of presidential records and documents, with oversight from the National Archives. As VOA's Greg Flakus reports from Austin, they also serve an educational function.
