Archives seek storage for Bush papers set for library

There’s no official word yet that Southern Methodist University will be the site of President Bush’s library, but federal officials are shopping in Dallas for space to store his papers and collectibles; enough to fill a large supermarket.

In a letter to developers, the National Archives and Records Administration said it needs to rent a secure 60,000-square-foot space from Oct. 1, 2008, to Sept. 30, 2014, to hold “general textual, general non-textual, national security classified and museum collections.”
