- Construction of the Reagan Library began in 1988, and the dedication ceremonies took place on November 4th, 1991. In October of 2005, the 90,000 square-foot Air Force One Pavilion was completed, which houses the Air Force One, Marine One, Discovery Center, and Ronald Reagan Pub. Beginning in 2010, the Reagan Library underwent an extensive renovation made possible by the Ronald Reagan Presidential ...Foundation and GE, in honor of President Reagan’s 100th birthday. The renovations include revamped exhibits, artifacts never before seen, and interactive displays, including a new General Electric Theater showcasing President Reagan’s early career in radio, television, and film.

Today, we are excited to highlight Jenny, an Archivist here at the Reagan Library. As she proudly displays her medals, Jenny completed the Beach City Challenge and her self-declared "Year of the Run" on Sunday. The Beach Cit...y Challenge is achieved by running three consecutive races in the series in one year. Jenny began the series with the Surf City Marathon- her favorite of the series- and completed it with the Orange County Half Marathon and Long Beach Half Marathon. What challenge will Jenny set for herself next?See More
- Eisenhower Truman 2012 Campaign (18 photos)As part of the Presidential Library system that operates under the National Archives and Records Administration, the Reagan Library maintains relationships with other Presidential Libraries and their events. The latest activity the Reagan L...ibrary participated in was hosting “Flat Ike” and “Flat Harry” from the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum and the Harry S. Truman Library & Museum in the Eisenhower Truman 2012 Campaign! This campaign acknowledges the differences between the two presidents, but seeks to display the respectful relationship with a foundation of shared principles that existed between the two. Want to get involved? Eisenhower and Truman both emphasized the importance of citizen engagement in their government and were proponents of participating in freedom through voting. The Reagan Library supports the Eisenhower Truman 2012 Campaign, and will even be a voting site for the upcoming presidential elections! For more information on the Eisenhower Truman 2012 Campaign, please visit http://ikeandharry2012.org/involved.html and be sure to make your voice heard and vote!See More
- “Columbus was a bold and adventurous navigator who left Europe in 1492 in search of new lands and first recorded the sighting of the North American continent. In this sense he personifies the courage and vision so many explorers exhibited d...uring this period. Yet he is more than this. He represents a spirit, the spirit of the Renaissance which contributed to the development of America. Along with Galileo, Copernicus, and others, Columbus symbolizes a quest for knowledge, a willingness and fortitude to go beyond what is accepted as truth in the name of progress. Columbus did not fall off the face of the earth; rather, through daring, risk, and innovation, he discovered new horizons.” –President Reagan, Proclamation 5089- Columbus Day, 1983.See More
- We were honored to have Flat Ike and Flat Harry from the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum and Harry S. Truman Library & Museum stop by today for a visit. Come back tomorrow to see more pictures from their California adventure!
- “Columbus is symbolic of the millions of Italians who have come to the New World since its discovery. They, too, possessed courage, and they, too, sought opportunity and endured hardship. For many, their journey was just as personally demanding as the one that Columbus undertook. I remember John Volpe telling me that it took his parents 6 weeks to cross the Atlantic in steerage, and all they had w...as a battered suitcase when they arrived...See More
And I'm going to sign the proclamation now, but as I sign it, I am commemorating not only the great navigator and explorer, Christopher Columbus, but those who centuries later followed him to the New World and helped make this the great nation that it is today.” –President Reagan, Remarks on Signing the Columbus Day Proclamation, October 9th, 1981. - Last chance to Guess Who?!

- “Freedom is the very essence of our nation. To be sure, ours is not a perfect nation. But even with our troubles, we remain the beacon of hope for oppressed peoples everywhere. Never give up the fight for freedom—a fight which, though it ma...y never end, is the most ennobling known to man.” –President Reagan, Presentation of a section of the Berlin Wall at the Reagan Library, April 12, 1990.See More
Pictured is that same section of the Berlin Wall as it is today at the Reagan Library. As the tearing down of the Berlin Wall granted freedom and promised peace, what does this image mean to you today?
