On Thursday, March 14, the Clinton Presidential Center Presents a conversation with the Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan, the first woman to be nominated and confirmed for this office. In honor of Women’s History Month, Shogan will discuss the vital importance of preserving and understanding our history, the contributions of women in government, and the state of American democracy with Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton.

As Archivist of the United States, Shogan leads the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the nation's record keeper. NARA preserves some of the nation’s most historic documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. It also makes the records of the United States government accessible to citizens as a fundamental right of our democracy.

The Clinton Presidential Library is part of the National Archives’ Presidential Library System. These institutions preserve the documents and artifacts of presidential administrations and provide a unique insight into the life and work of each president.
