The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) ensures, for 
citizens and Federal officials, ready access to essential evidence that 
documents the rights of American citizens, the actions of Federal 
officials, and the national experience. It establishes policies and 
procedures for managing U.S. Government records and assists Federal 
agencies in documenting their activities, administering records 
management programs, scheduling records, and retiring noncurrent 
records. NARA accessions, arranges, describes, preserves, and provides 
access to the essential documentation of the three branches of 
Government; manages the Presidential Libraries system; and publishes the 
laws, regulations, and Presidential and other public documents. It also 
assists the Information Security Oversight Office, which manages Federal 
classification and declassification policies, and the National 
Historical Publications and Records Commission, which makes grants 
nationwide to help nonprofit organizations identify, preserve, and 
provide access to materials that document American history.

The National Archives and Records Administration is the successor agency 
to the National Archives Establishment, which was created in 1934 and 
subsequently incorporated into the General Services Administration as 
the National Archives and Records Service in 1949. NARA was established 
as an independent agency in the executive branch of the Government by 
act of October 19, 1984 (44 U.S.C. 2101 et seq.), effective April 1, 
1985.

Activities

Archival Program  The National Archives and Records Administration 
maintains the historically valuable

records of the U.S. Government dating from the Revolutionary War era to 
the recent past; arranges and preserves records and prepares finding 
aids to facilitate their use; makes records available for use in 
research rooms in its facilities; answers written and oral requests for 
information contained in its holdings; and, for a fee, provides copies 
of records. In addition, many important records are available on 
microfilm. Historically valuable records created in the Washington, DC, 
area and in the custody of NARA are maintained in NARA facilities in the 
Washington, DC, area. Historically valuable records that are primarily 
of regional or local interest and in the custody of NARA are maintained 
in the NARA regional records services facilities (see ``Regional Records 
Services'' below).

For further information concerning records in the custody of NARA, 
contact the User Services Branch. Phone, 202-501-5400.

Presidential Libraries  Through the Presidential libraries, which are 
located at sites selected by the Presidents and built with private 
funds, NARA preserves and makes available the records and personal 
papers of a particular President's administration. In addition to 
providing reference services on Presidential documents, each library 
prepares documentary and descriptive publications and operates a museum 
to exhibit documents, historic objects, and other memorabilia of 
interest to the public.
    The records of each President since Herbert Hoover are administered 
by NARA. While such records were once considered personal papers, all 
Presidential records created on or after January 20, 1981, are declared 
by law to be owned and controlled by the United States and are required 
to be transferred to NARA at the end of the administration, pursuant to 
the Presidential Records Act of 1978 (44 U.S.C. 2201 et seq.).

Regional Records Services  Outside the Washington, DC, area, NARA 
operates a system of nine regions comprised of individual regional 
records services facilities plus the National Personnel Records Center. 
Each of the nine regional administrators operates a program encompassing 
the full life cycle of records, including records management activities 
with records creators, disposal, archival accessioning, records 
processing, and access to records by the public. Historically valuable 
records that are primarily of regional or local interest are maintained 
in most of these facilities, which arrange and preserve the records and 
prepare finding aids to facilitate their use; make the records available 
for use in research rooms; answer written and oral requests for 
information contained in the holdings; and, for a fee, provide copies of 
the records. In addition, many important original records held in NARA 
facilities in the Washington, DC, area, are available in microform in 
most of these regional facilities.

[[Page 597]]

    In addition to the archival holdings, most of these regional records 
services facilities maintain low-cost storage to which Federal agencies 
retire certain noncurrent records for specified periods. For such 
records, the regional records services facilities provide reference 
services, including loan or return of records to the agency of origin; 
prepare authenticated reproductions of documents; and furnish 
information from records. The facilities also dispose of records of 
transitory value and transfer into archival custody those that have 
enduring value. In addition, the facilities offer to Federal agencies in 
the region technical assistance workshops and advice on records 
creation, maintenance, storage, disposition, and vital records. 
Reimbursable microfilming services are available from some of the 
facilities.
