The Presidential Records Act: Who Really Owns the President's Papers?

At "AI on Capitol Hill" we use artificial intelligence to increase transparency and engagement with our government. This episode dives into the Presidential Records Act of 1978, which plays a critical role in defining ownership and access to Presidential records.


Key Points:

  • The Presidential Records Act of 1978 defines ownership and management of materials created or received by the President.

  • Certain exceptions apply, such as matters related to national security or personal privacy.

  • The Archivist of the United States plays a pivotal role in managing these records, including consulting Congress on disposal matters.


In this episode, we break down:

  • The importance of the Act and its impact on historical transparency, this extends beyond traditional documents to include modern forms of communication.

  • This includes official government documents, such as memos, letters, emails, and even forms of communication like tweets, which could never have been anticipated as official records back in 1978.
