The Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace

Located in Yorba Linda, Calif., the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace opened in 1990 with a cadre of visitors and guests that included former Presidents Bush, Reagan, Ford, and of course, Nixon. Actually, the museum tour of the site is not a bad place to start, as visitors are taken around both his childhood home, the permanent galleries, and upcoming exhibits. The childhood home feature includes a nice audio clip of President Nixon describing his early life in Yorba Linda. Of course there are helpful research materials here for students and the general public located within the research center area of the site. Here visitors can learn about the life of the President and First Lady Patricia Nixon and examine several bibliographies of recommended works. Visitors to the site may also want to read "In the National Interest", which is the Nixon Center's weekly online magazine covering foreign policy affairs. Of course, researchers will want to take a look at the information about visiting and using the archives, although it should be noted that the Presidential papers of Richard Nixon are still in the custody of the National Archives. Finally, some visitors may want to join the online Nixon Forum, where they may discuss all things Nixon 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
