If they are indeed part of the nat'l Archives (which I did not know! Thanks Big Mick!)then there is no fee to enter or peruse any documents therein, only for copies of documents made, in accordance with FOIA.

As Tourist attractions - even Hitler's supposed boyhood home and some cemetaries are tourist attractions - no big deal.

As someone painfully aware of archival procedures and knopwing the hell that one has to go through to get documents out of them, I think the idea that these documents will be separated from the normal dross and located in an easily accessed "library" is a good thing.

You're right about him sealing his records as governor and he or someone else seems to have already taken care of his "service record". Seems his library or anti-library is going to be pretty scant on the pre-presidential side of things.
