Yesterday we visited the National Archives
and Records Administration building in
We toured the building and learned about their
extensive archives and education programs.
Their education coordinator will work with
teachers to develop lessons based on primary
source documents in the collection. Individuals
may visit to examine publicly held documents.
Digital cameras and scanners are allowed to be
used on most documents so that a copy can be
taken home. Additionally, 300,000 documents
have been scanned and are available online in
the archival research catalog. Records include
court records, case files, immigration and
naturalization records, census records through
1930, and military, maritime and custom records.
For records that must be viewed in person, they
recommend that you write, phone, or email
before you come so that they can quickly locate
the records you desire to view.
