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 Obama Presidential Library is the first fully digital Presidential library. An estimated 95 percent of the Presidential records of the Obama administration were born digital, such as photos, videos, word-processing documents, tweets, emails, and other standard digital formats. NARA also received approximately 30 million pages of unclassified paper Presidential records.
The Obama Foundation is constructing the Obama Presidential Center on Chicago’s South Side in Jackson Park. The Center is a privately operated, non-federal organization. The National Archives does not have a presence at this location. However, NARA and the Obama Foundation will work together to have records and artifacts on display at the museum at the Obama Presidential Center.
