Nuestra visión

Theodore Roosevelt murió, inesperadamente, el 6 de enero de 1919, y la nación se despertó aturdida por la noticia de que una figura tan vigorosa y llena de vida había desaparecido. Se planificaron monumentos conmemorativos, se crearon asociaciones, se conservaron casas históricas y, sin embargo, Theodore Roosevelt no cuenta con una biblioteca presidencial.

The world needs Theodore Roosevelt—now more than ever. The lessons of his life, even 100 years later, have never felt more relevant: Leadership, Citizenship, Conservation. With those principles in mind, we want to create a museum of the future for one of the most iconic American figures in our collective memory; we want to create a legacy for today to create a new tomorrow.

TR’s library should be the people’s library, not a box in the Badlands with artifacts under glass; like TR’s life, this library must be an experience. We are building a presidential library in the 2020s, not the 1920s, that will last in perpetuity. We can embrace immersive storytelling and new technologies, and build a first-of-its-kind digital library for an analog president. This museum can be a platform for embracing civic dialogue, thoughtful debate, and inspiration from around the globe.
