Ongoing List of Historical Works That Would Have Been
Affected by Executive Order 13233

A new executive order issued by President George W. Bush (Presidential Records Act Executive Order 13233) restricts access to the records of former presidents. The Office for Intellectual Freedom of the American Library Association (ALA) and The Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF) urge librarians to alert their patrons and the public about this effort to close the public record.

Librarians should do this by creating an exhibit of significant historical works that would not have been published or written had the order been in effect, and by providing their patrons with a list of these works.
