Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Tour 2/07/13 Recap & Photos

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is located about 45 minutes north of UCLA. This past Thursday, a group of UCLA MLIS students and IS professionals visited the Library and also had the opportunity to see the “Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives” exhibit currently on display. Michael Duggan, Supervisory Archivist at the Reagan Library, led our group through a tour of the archives. Unfortunately, no photos are allowed behind-the-scenes, but here are a few from the museum exhibits:
