WASHINGTON — When Colleen Shogan, the new archivist of the United States, pulled up in front of the Obama Presidential Library in Hoffman Estates for the first time, “I thought it looked like a wedding center.”
The gray brick exterior of 2500 Golf Rd. in the northwest suburb, once a Plunkett Furniture showroom and warehouse, has decorative front and side portico entrances. But there’s no grand architectural detail or even a sign to suggest that inside, for the past seven years, it’s been the temporary home of the official Barack Obama Presidential Library.
Shogan oversees the National Archives and Records Administration, which operates the federal presidential library system.
Under the 1978 Presidential Records Act, NARA gets custody of all presidential records and artifacts when a president leaves office.
Inside the fortified and climate-controlled incognito Obama library on Shogan’s visit in July, 23 staffers — mostly archivists and technicians — were digitizing, cataloging, photographing and preserving records and artifacts from Obama’s two terms.
That’s about 25 million unclassified paper documents, by NARA’s estimate, and 35,000 physical artifacts, including gifts given to the Obamas.

And talking about an Obama presidential library, is there one at all for Trump? I looked up presidential libraries and the government site redirects to Trump. None in the works or planned?
The NA refused to help organize, ship, and store Trump’s documents, so he was essentially forced to take them with him. It was only when they arrived at Mar a Lago that the NA took an interest in what was in them. This whole “boxes hoax” was a setup from the start.
I read that skippy 0bama digitized most of the paper docs. Only the digital versions remain
Fake news was stunned and amazed at skippy’s latest progressive and wonderful idea. Amazing no one had thought of this before!!
The good news is there isn’t a single document in that stash labeled Classified. Also, there’s no need for an FBI raid since The Mooch doesn’t keep her panties there.
EC
how many documents PROVING treason have been destroyed?
“New details on little-known Obama Presidential Library, tucked away in Hoffman Estates (Does Hussein stash contain Brandon bribe info?)”
New details on little-known Obama Presidential TEMPLE, tucked away in Hoffman Estates (Does Hussein stash contain Brandon bribe info?)
There, fixed it
Since Obama apparently kept a lot of records secret, I wonder how much new would be found in his presidential library. How much info in any presidential library would contain totally truthful statements & how much is made up crap?
The Hoffman Estates repository is also supposed to house an autographed copy of Larry Sinclair’s tell-all book gifted to the Soetoro White House regarding Barry’s Wild Limo Ride in Gurnee circle 1999. If that book was destroyed, Barry broke the law.
I had the courage to visit the Jimmah Carter Museum in Hot’lanta. Don’t think I could do it for Barry Soetoro. I wouldn’t be able to take enough showers after leaving that place.
