The Obama Presidential Library That Isn’t
The Obama
Presidential Center promises to be a presidential library like no other.
The
four-building, 19-acre “working center for citizenship,” set to be built in a
public park on the South Side of Chicago, will include a 235-foot-high “museum
tower,” a two-story event space, an athletic center, a recording studio, a
winter garden, even a sledding hill.
But the
center, which will cost an estimated $500 million, will also differ from the
complexes built by Barack Obama’s predecessors in another way: It won’t
actually be a presidential library.
In a break
with precedent, there will be no research library on site, and none of Mr.
Obama’s official presidential records. Instead, the Obama Foundation will pay
to digitize the roughly 30 million pages of unclassified paper records from the
administration so they can be made available online.
