President Reagan spoke at the swearing in ceremony for the Archivist of the United States Don Wilson at the National Archives. In Reagan's speech he said, “But if we're to succeed in the future, we must learn our own past and learn to look at these and other documents and hear the echoes and sense the greatness and draw strength. For to study American history is, in a sense, to study free will.” .

The Reagan Library honors the life and legacy of iconic artist, Peter Max, who passed away on September 14, 2026. In 1981, Peter Max was invited by President Reagan and Mrs. Reagan to a Fourth of July Celebration on the South Lawn of the White House. There, Max painted six, 8-foot-tall paintings of the Statue of Liberty.
Peter Max also played a critical role in the Statue of Liberty restoration project. In 1982, President Reagan announced a Liberty-Ellis Island Commission for the restoration of the statue that culminated in a re-dedication ceremony on “Liberty Weekend,” July 3-6, 1986.
