Now that President Reagan's remains are buried there, it will. The library got lots of visitors before then, but they will increase now. As you might expect, many visitors are especially drawn to the part of the museum that covers his Hollywood years. But the Air Force One pavillion will be a huge tourist draw when it opens in 2005.

The Screen Actors Guild says it has "a treasure trove" of minutes, notes, letters and photographs chronicling the eariest days of President Reagan's political career. Thing is, if the material is sitting over in SAG archives, it's not available for scholarly research and public viewing, as it would be at the library. SAG should consider lending or donating the material to the library.
