Love the “The West Wing”? Sort of like Arkansas? Cool with the Clintons? Then a trip to Little Rock’s William J. Clinton Presidential Center to geek out on ephemera from everyone’s favorite fast-talking White House drama (that is before “Scandal,” “Veep,” “House of Cards,” et al) might be in your future.

Before she ditched D.C. for Hollywood, Dee Dee Myers, former White House press secretary and consultant on NBC’s “The West Wing,” called her good friend Skip Rutherford, dean of the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service. Myers had some leftover boxes filled with memorabilia from the show — original scripts, notes, tapes — did he think the Clinton library might want them?

“I said yes before running it up the flag pole,” explained Rutherford, who described himself as an “FOB” — friend of Bill — and has known Myers since the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign.

Eventually Rutherford checked in with the library’s director, Terri Garner, who said “thank you,” and the boxes were shipped.

For now there aren’t any concrete plans for what to do with all the material. Garner told Politico that the library was in “the process of preservation and hope to host an exhibit soon.”

Rutherford had a few ideas, though. The library could get the old gang — C.J., Donna, Carol! — back together, host episode screenings and even tie some plot lines into programming. Our humble suggestion would be a trivia night.

“[The gift] makes a lot of sense,” said Rutherford, “because of all of the Clinton connections with ‘The West Wing.'”
