The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) houses vital historical records dating back to the 1700s, documenting American rights, federal actions, and the national journey since 1774. Everyone has people in NARA's records unless they came to the United States recently. Whether you're a citizen, public servant, or researcher, NARA ensures the identification, protection, and accessibility of these invaluable records. NARA's online resources provide access to a wealth of information connecting generations to the rich tapestry of American experience.
