• The Presidential Records Act (PRA) makes defined Presidential records created after 1981 subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. • Through the FOIA, researchers may request that a Presidential library process records and make them available for research. Prior to the release of any records, archivists must complete a line-by-line review of every page intended for release to withdraw any sensitive or restricted information.
