Sharon Fawcett: Presidential Libraries and Museums in the 21st Century: Reflections on the Dilemmas of History, Legacy, and Politics March 24, 2010

Presidential libraries and museums have been in the news lately as historians and some members of Congress have raised issues of ongoing operating costs, control of and access to historical materials, as well as the role of presidential foundations.
Presidential Libraries promote the understanding of the presidency and the American experience—preserving and providing access to historical materials, supporting research, and creating interactive programs and exhibits that educate and inspire.
Join Sharon Fawcett, head of the National Archives system of 13 Presidential Libraries, as she discusses the past and future of these unique and sometimes controversial cultural institutions.
A reception will follow the lecture. Free. Open Seating. 734-205-0555
