Best Answer

It was built to house historical items and memorabilia related to the life and presidency of Richard M. Nixon, a volatile period of time in U.S. history. Before that, Nixon was Vice President of the United States for 8 years, and held other political offices in California. It is important to preserve history, even if it is to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Most presidents are represented by such libraries after their term ends; for instance, the Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton presidential libraries that opened in recent years.
