Services Division of the National Archives maintains a listing of 
independent researchers who perform freelance research for hire in the 
Washington, DC, area. All interested independent researchers provide 
their contact information via this form. Collecting contact and other 
key information from each independent researcher and providing such 
information to the public when deemed appropriate will only increase 
business. This form is not a burden in any way to any independent 
researcher who voluntarily submits a completed form. Inclusion on the 
list will not be viewed or advertised as an endorsement by the National 
Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The listing is compiled and 
disseminated as a service to the public.
