Barack Obama Presidential Library and Museum

The Barack Obama Presidential Library and Museum is to be a repository of the papers and other ephemera relating to Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States. It is to be constructed at the behest of nonprofit Barack H. Obama Foundation, which was officially set up for this purpose. Three long-time supporters will head up the foundation: Marty Nesbitt, a close friend from Chicago; J. Kevin Poorman, president and CEO of PSP Capital Partners; and Julianna Smoot, a top official in the president's re-election campaign.[1]

While the foundation was formally incorporated on January 29, 2014,[2] a site has not yet been chosen; several organizations had long been lobbying for the honor of hosting the institution. [3] On April 30, 2015, it was confirmed that the Obama Presidential Library will be located in Chicago, Illinois. A site for the library is yet to be chosen.
