The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the nation's record keeper. Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by us forever. Those valuable records are preserved and are available to you, whether you want to see if they contain clues about your family’s history, need to prove a veteran’s military service, or are researching an historical topic that interests you.

Search Tips In a Basic Search
you'll receive results that contain all of your search terms. These may match keywords in a title, author names, subjects, abstract, or other descriptions. Use the Advanced Search to pre-limit your search to specific fields, material types, or publication dates. Use the Filters to limit to items available online or physically available in the library. You can also include or exclude particular material types, dates, authors, subjects, or library locations. The * character can be used as a wildcard in place of one or more characters. [Examples: recycl*, organiz*, wom*n] Enclosing your search in quotes " " will only return results with an exact match. [Examples: "global warming", "Affordable Care Act", "mutual funds"] Searches can also be nested in ( ), combined with " " and Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT. [Example: "World War II" AND (sites OR battles) NOT (Normandy OR Pearl Harbor)] |
