The David M. Rubenstein National Center for White House History

The David M. Rubenstein National Center for White House History is the research and educational hub for the White House Historical Association. It is also the repository of the Digital Library and related digital resources. The Center offers comprehensive, authoritative, and accessible content about the history of the Executive Mansion, including those who have lived and worked there as well as its traditions and complex role as a national symbol. The goal of the Center is to promote awareness of the past, provide deeper historical appreciation and understanding, and inspire engagement for learners of all ages. Established in 2010 and named for David M. Rubenstein in 2011 to recognize his generous support and enthusiasm for sharing history, it is located at Decatur House, a site owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and operated by the White House Historical Association.
