It operates as a museum. The dossier keeps the place and the story in the same record — which is what the archive is for.

The National Museum of the Pacific War is Nimitz's hometown monument — the museum in the Fredericksburg hotel where the admiral was born, the only national museum dedicated to the Pacific theater. Nimitz asked that it honor the two million who served with him, not just himself.
The museum was the preservation — the Nimitz Hotel that was going to be demolished, the 1967 opening on the admiral's birthday, the expansion that made it the Pacific War's archive. Fredericksburg was the German-settled town that produced the fleet admiral.
The museum is still there — the hotel that's the Admiral Nimitz Gallery, the combat zone and the Japanese Garden of Peace, the museum that's the Pacific's memory. The file keeps it: the 1967 founding, Nimitz's hometown, and the museum that's the war's monument.
The National Museum of the Pacific War is the archive's Nimitz file — the birthplace hotel, the Pacific museum, and the monument to the two million.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Pacific War museum is the archive's Nimitz file — the Fredericksburg hotel, the admiral's request, and the museum that's the Pacific's archive.
A museum in a birthplace keeps its hotel — the file's suggestion being that the museum's hold is the origin: the Nimitz Hotel, the two million honored, and the site that's the Pacific's memory.
