This Week’s Program: Don Schewe on the Evolution of Information

Friday, March 13, 2026

This week, the Rotary Club of Atlanta West End welcomes longtime member Don Schewe, who will speak on the evolution of information and the stewardship of historical records. Don joined the club in 1980 and recently marked more than four decades of Rotary service, reflecting Rotary’s enduring commitments to integrity, leadership, fellowship, and Service Above Self.

A native of Lincoln, Nebraska, Don earned a Ph.D. in history from Ohio State University and served in the United States Army, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Reserves. His professional career included directing the Carter Presidential Materials Project, where he oversaw the processing of more than 27 million documents from the administration of Jimmy Carter.

That work culminated in his leadership in building the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum, where he served as Library Director beginning in 1985 and continuing until his retirement in 1999. Drawing on this experience, Don will share reflections on how information has evolved over time.
