The Presidential Library system is composed of fifteen Presidential Libraries. These facilities are overseen by the Office of Presidential Libraries, in the National Archives and Records Administration.
Presidential Libraries are archives and museums, bringing together the documents and artifacts of a President and his administration and presenting them to the public for study and discussion without regard for political considerations or affiliations. Presidential Libraries and Museums, like their holdings, belong to the American people.
Many Presidential papers and records had been lost, destroyed, sold for profit, or ruined by poor storage conditions. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt sought a better alternative. Learn more about the Presidential Libraries History
Congress legislated this policy, passing the Presidential Libraries Act in 1955. Through archives, museums, and public programs, Presidential Libraries continue to preserve the documents and artifacts of our Presidents, helping us learn about our nation and our democracy.

About the project
Migrate all presidential libraries and museum websites under the National Archives into Drupal 9.
Why Drupal was chosen
Drupal is the de facto standard for federal government websites in the United States and, in particular, the National Archives and Records Administration. Drupal is a favorite among govies due to its user-friendly content management interface, robust security protocols, rich library of open source modules, and the million Drupal professionals who help keep Drupal safe and up-to-date.
