The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library is the first of the presidential libraries. It was conceived and built under President Roosevelts direction during 193940 on 16 acres of land in Hyde Park, New York, donated by the President and his mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt. The library resulted from the Presidents decision that a separate facility was needed to house the vast quantity of historical papers, books, and memorabilia he had accumulated during a lifetime of public service and private collecting.
