Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library: Funding and Artifacts for Public Access

This act aims to support the establishment of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota. Citizens will gain access to previously scattered artifacts and educational materials related to the president's life, enriching historical and cultural knowledge. Funding will come from federal grants, provided that twice the amount is raised from other sources, meaning taxpayers will not bear the full cost.
Key points
New Presidential Library: The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will be established, serving as a place to preserve and make public materials related to his life.
Access to Artifacts: Previously scattered federal collections and exhibits concerning Theodore Roosevelt will be gathered and displayed at the library, making historical heritage more accessible to citizens.
Financial Support: The act authorizes federal grants for the library's establishment, but requires the Foundation to raise at least twice the amount from other sources (state or private) before receiving federal funds. Grants will not cover ongoing maintenance costs.
Education and Culture: The library will offer interpretive and educational services to help citizens understand the significance of Theodore Roosevelt's life.
