Presidential libraries are actually considered to be more repositories than libraries for preserving historical materials and making them accessible, at least in theory. However, Executive Order 13233, signed by President George W. Bush on Nov 1, 2001 has the potential to exclude access to presidential records; Bush did not offer reasons for this order. But it is difficult to avoid policy pitfalls and learn from the past and our failures if records and documentation are not available. Access to records, especially those that fall within Executive Order 13233, is not always timely or easy. George W. Bush and his family are raising money for his facility to be built at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. While the museum side of a presidential library may reflect the president as a s...

In the spring of 1960, West Virginia was in the national spotlight as John F. Kennedy spent much time in the state campaigning for president against Sen. Hubert Humphrey. Kennedy's victory in the Democratic primary not only propelled him to the nomination of his party, but also undermined the conventional wisdom that a Catholic could not be elected president. Kennedy also was challenged by senior party members who thought he was too young and inexperienced to serve as president. The 1960 West Virginia primary marked the first time in the state's 97-year history that it was involved and i...
Regarding "GOP issuing 'Clinton library cards' " (Nation, Wednesday), keep in mind that for 200 years, a president's White House files were considered personal property. Upon leaving office, he could screen them, keep what he wanted and burn the rest. Except for Richard Nixon, all the presidents from Herbert Hoover through Jimmy Carter donated portions of their files, with varying restrictions, to libraries administered by the National Archives. The late Clement Vose, a professor of government at Wesleyan University, noted of the donor-restricted presidential libraries that they often set aside records dealing with contentious matters to allow "the passage of time to dim controversy" related to presidents.
