Q: How do I conduct research in the textual materials?
A:
Pre-, Post-, and Presidential materials are available for research at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California.
Review the procedures on the following web pages for more information:
Q: Are all the papers open to research?
A:
Many of the most significant foreign and domestic policy materials are processed and open to research.
Most open collections have some items that are temporarily restricted from public use. Document Withdrawal Sheets in the collections identify these withdrawn items and mark their file locations. Most closed items are national security classified or closed pursuant to PRMPA and its implementing regulations.
Q: May I see items in "unprocessed/closed" collections?
A:
No. The Nixon Library will release only files it has archivally processed, preserved, arranged, described, reviewed for restricted information, and opened per the applicable laws and deeds of gift.
Q: Where will I find the most documents that President Nixon annotated or wrote?
A:
President Nixon frequently annotated the news summaries prepared for
him with instructions to the staff, and he also noted his impressions of current news events. These files can be found in the Annotated News Series. Much of his original handwriting is in the President's Handwriting Series.
Q: Can I order document reproductions by mail?
A:
Yes. Document reproductions can be ordered at the current standard fee set by the National Archives.
Citations must be specific since our staff cannot select documents for you.
