What is the National Archives?
• National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is
an independent agency established in 1934 to identify,
protect, preserve, and make publicly available the
historically valuable records of all three branches of
the Federal government.
• We preserve the records of the U.S. Government and
make them available so that students, educators, and
people of all ages can discover, use, and learn from this
documentary heritage.
22
• We hold the Declaration of Independence, Constitution,
Bill of Rights, the records of Congress, court records, and
millions of other documents that tell the nation’s story,
document the actions of government officials, and confirm
the rights guaranteed to individuals.
• 5 million cubic feet (equivalent to 12.5 billion pages) of
archival records in traditional formats• Billions of pages of text
• Millions of photographs, maps, drawings and charts
• Miles of tape and film (audio and/or video)
• Thousands of artifacts and objects
• 795 terabytes of electronic archival records• Data files, Emails, Digital Photographs, Word Documents, etc

National Archives and

• As you research, note significant names, dates, events, and any evidence of connection between topic and the Federal government programs and policies.
• Was a law passed related to your topic?
• Did it involve the Federal courts?
• Does a Federal agency oversee and regulate an aspect of your
topic?
• Does it involve the Federal government in a certain part of the
country?
