              <Paragraph>Through the Presidential Libraries, which are located at sites selected by the Presidents and built with private funds, NARA preserves and makes available the records, personal papers, and artifacts of a President's administration. Each Library operates a research room and provides reference services for Presidential papers and other historical materials. The Libraries display artifacts and other holdings in museum exhibits illustrating the life and times of a President. The Presidential Libraries also provide programming for students of all ages promoting citizen engagement.   NARA operates the Libraries of Presidents Herbert Hoover through George W. Bush.  While such records were once considered personal papers, all Presidential records created on or after January 20, 1981, are declared by law to be owned and controlled by the United States and are required to be transferred to NARA at the end of the administration, pursuant to the Presidential Records Act of 1978 (44 U.S.C. 2201 et seq.).  The Office of Presidential Libraries within the National Archives oversees the archival, museum, and education programs of the 13 Presidential Libraries.</Paragraph>
