The Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Docent Guild | Preserving the Legacy of Richard Nixon

THE DOCENT GUILD

As members of the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Docent Guild, we are an integral part of the proud heritage associated with this Presidential Library. We are the official stewards of the legacy and achievements of Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States of America. We are the public face of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.

Among all of the 13 currently operating Presidential Libraries we are the only all-volunteer work force that is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the heritage of a former President of the United States. Being a “Nixon Docent” is both a privilege and a responsibility for those who choose to serve.

Our Docent team serves as hosts and provides information to the many thousands of visitors annually from around the globe. As representatives of the Library we staff the permanent and temporary exhibits including the Oval Office, the historic Birthplace, and America 250: A More Perfect Union. We tell the story of the permanent and special exhibits, lead student and adult tours, and provide special event coverage.

We also recruit, train and manage the volunteers who become docents. Because of training and our level of professionalism, we attract a high-caliber volunteers, both retired and working, who seek intellectual stimulation and who want to give back to the community.
