In announcing this observance, Archivist of the United States Dr. Colleen Shogan said, “We mourn former President Carter together and honor his legacy. A humanitarian and champion of democracy, Carter spent his life bringing people together to solve global problems with peaceful solutions.”

In honor of President Carter, a special temporary exhibit now on display in the East Rotunda Gallery includes the Camp David Accords and the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty of 1979. The public is also invited to sign a condolence book, located next to the exhibit, for the Carter family.

The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta, GA, is currently closed. To learn about condolence books, observances, and closures at a Presidential Library near you, please visit the Presidential Libraries website.
