About U.S. National Archives and Records Administration
Location:
Barack Obama Presidential Library, 2500 W. Golf Road, Hoffman Estates, IL 60169, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to carry forward President Obama’s vision for government records, outlined in his November 28, 2011, Memorandum on Managing Government Records. Because "proper records management is the backbone of open Government" and "records transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) provide the prism through which future generations will understand and learn from our actions and decisions."
Description
The Barack Obama Presidential Library is the 14th presidential library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a federal agency.
Unlike other Presidential Libraries administered by NARA, the Barack Obama Presidential Library will be a fully digital library. After the records are digitized, NARA will store and preserve the original materials in an existing NARA facility that meets NARA’s standards for archival storage. A staff at that location will be responsible for caring for the records and artifacts.
Obama presidential records are administered in accordance with the requirements of the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and will not be subject to public Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests until January 20, 2022.
