Presidential Libraries: Most justices limit access to their papers

Article Abstract:

Most Supreme Court justices have guarded access to their papers, with some even ordering to destroy their collections after they left the court. On the other hand, justices who did donate their documents to libraries and historical societies have left limited collections, restricting access to those papers until the death or retirement of their one-time colleague.
