Here’s a nice guest column in the Waco Tribune-Herald by Thomas L. Charlton, the director of The Texas Collection and professor of history at Baylor University.
He writes: “American presidential libraries have had extremely positive effects on all who have visited them. The current local excitement in Central Texas about the possibility that a third presidential library may soon be located in Texas and within one hundred miles of two others – forming a “presidential library triangleâ€? with Austin, College Station, and Waco at its extremities – suggests that now might be an appropriate time to reflect on what President Franklin D. Roosevelt started when he donated his White House papers to the American people, thereby establishing a precedent for his successors that Congress later made the law of the land.”
