NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION


Temporary Change in Hours at Regional Archives

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of temporary change in research room hours at the Mid 
Atlantic Regional Archives in Philadelphia.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Mid Atlantic Regional Archives, located at 900 Market 
Street, Philadelphia, PA, will be temporarily closed to researchers on 
Tuesdays from the week of June 26, 2005 through the week of September 
4, 2005, to allow staff to complete activities necessary for a planned 
relocation of certain, infrequently used records to an offsite storage 
facility with improved environmental controls.

DATES: June 27, 2005 through September 9, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie.Simon at 215-606-0101.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Mid Atlantic Regional Archives is in the 
middle of a planned move of a number

[[Page 36412]]

of certain, infrequently used records to offsite storage to reduce 
rental costs and preserve the records space with better archival 
environmental controls. The records will not be accessible while in 
transit. After the move, these records will be accessible through the 
Mid Atlantic Regional Archives. Relevant entries in the Archival 
Research Catalogue (ARC) will be updated to reflect location and access 
changes.
    The temporary, once-weekly closure will allow staff to complete 
activities necessary for the move (such as reboxing and cataloguing). 
To assist extended-stay researchers, NARA selected Tuesday for 
temporary closing to avoid conflict with the regular closing hours of 
other related Philadelphia institutions, such as the Historical Society 
of Pennsylvania's genealogy and manuscript collections, which are 
closed on Mondays. NARA Mid Atlantic out-of-town researchers, who 
frequently use multiple institutional archives, will not find them 
closed on the same day during the summer week days. The actual shipping 
of records will take place from July through October. However, normal 
hours will be restored the week of September 11, 2005.

    Dated: June 17, 2005.
Thomas Mills,
Assistant Archivist for Regional Records Services.
