Presidential Sites Summit, September 25-28, 2023
The White House Historical Association will convene in Washington, D.C. for the 2023 Presidential Sites Summit. The theme “Change and Continuity” will highlight how presidential sites and organizations can prepare the next generation of site leaders while recognizing our critical role in preserving our country’s history.
This gathering will bring together participants from around the country to discuss key issues facing presidential sites and facilitate networking opportunities. Under the convening leadership of the White House Historical Association, the Summit will feature a variety of experts and professionals, compelling sessions and conversations, and exciting visits to historic sites in our nation’s capital.
This national conference is held every two years and is hosted at a site with connections to the American presidency and includes attendees representing institutions from all regions of the country and from across the spectrum of the historical profession. Primarily, attendees work at institutions that:
The Presidential Sites and Libraries community includes federal institutions such as National Archives libraries and National Park Service sites, sites such as those of the National Trust for Historic Preservation (President Lincoln's Cottage, Montpelier, Woodrow Wilson House), private institutions of all sizes including Monticello, the 6th Floor Museum, and the James K. Polk Home, and any other entity with a history of presidential or White House activity or connection. The inaugural PS&L conference took place in Washington, D.C. in March 1993. Subsequent conferences were held at the Carter Center (1996), the Johnson Presidential Library and Museum (1999), Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and National Historic Site (2006), the Miller Center for Public Policy (2010), the Clinton Presidential Center (2014), the Willard InterContinental Hotel (2018), and the Adolphus Hotel (2022).
