The National Archives and Records Administration 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; manages the Presidential Libraries 
system; and publishes the laws, regulations, and Presidential and other 
public documents.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 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 and 
via the Internet; 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 and on 
the NARA Web site, at www.archives.gov. 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 of high regional or local interest in the custody of 
NARA are maintained in the NARA regional archives (see the ``Regional 
Records Services'' section). NARA also has eight affiliated archives 
that hold NARA-owned records on behalf of NARA and make them available 
to the public.

For further information concerning records in the custody of NARA, 
contact the Customer Services Division. Phone, 202-357-5400 or 866-272-
6272. Fax, 301-837-0483. E-mail, [email protected].

Laws, Regulations, and Presidential Documents  The Office of the Federal 
Register prepares and publishes a wide variety of public documents. Upon 
issuance, acts of Congress are published in slip law (pamphlet) form and 
then cumulated and published for each session of Congress in the United 
States Statutes at Large.
    Each Federal workday, the Federal Register is published, containing 
current Presidential proclamations and Executive

orders, Federal agency regulations having general applicability and 
legal effect, proposed agency rules, and documents required by statute 
to be published. All Federal regulations in force are codified annually 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.
    Presidential speeches, news conferences, messages, and other 
materials released by the White House Office of the Press Secretary are 
published each week in the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents 
and annually in the Public Papers of the Presidents.
    The United States Government Manual, published annually, serves as 
the official handbook of the Federal Government, providing extensive 
information on the legislative, judicial, and executive branches.
    All of the above publications are available in both paper editions 
and online in electronic formats at www.gpoaccess.gov/nara/index.html.

For further information, contact Customer Service, Office of the Federal 
Register. Phone, 202-741-6000. TTY, 202-741-6086. Fax, 202-741-6012. E-
mail, [email protected]. Internet, www.archives.gov/federal-register.

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.).

Records Management  To ensure proper documentation of the organization, 
policies, and activities of the Government, NARA develops standards and 
guidelines for the nationwide management and disposition of recorded 
information. It appraises Federal records and approves records 
disposition schedules. It also inspects agency records and records 
management practices, develops records management training programs, 
provides guidance and assistance on proper records management, and 
provides for storage of inactive records. For agencies headquartered in 
the Washington, DC, vicinity, these functions are assigned to the Office 
of Records Services--Washington, DC.

[[Page 447]]

The Office of Records Services (Washington, DC)

Modern Records Program  The Modern Records Program improves the life 
cycle management of Federal records in all media for Government 
agencies; provides formal training in Federal records management; and 
coordinates technical assistance to Federal agencies on records 
creation, management, and disposition to agencies in the Washington, DC, 
area. For more information, go to: www.archives.gov/records-mgmt.
    The Washington National Records Center offers a wide range of 
records storage and servicing options as described below under Regional 
Records Services and also offers customized workshops and records 
management assistance upon request and will assist agencies with their 
records storage problems.

For further information on records center services in the Washington, 
DC, area (West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland), contact the Washington 
National Records Center. Phone, 301-778-1600.

Regional Records Services

Regional Records Services  The Regional Records Services Office provides 
services to agencies outside the Washington, DC, area. NARA has nine 
regions and the National Personnel Records Center. Each region operates 
a full life cycle records program including records management 
operations, records centers, and regional archives.
Records Management  Outside of the Washington, DC, area, NARA maintains 
information about the records managment programs of Federal agencies in 
the region; conducts inspections, evaluations, or surveys of records and 
records management programs in agencies; reports on findings; and 
recommends improvements or necessary corrective actions. NARA also 
furnishes guidance and technical assistance to Federal agencies on 
records creation, management, and disposition; develops and conducts 
training aimed at improving agency records management and disposition 
practices; and appraises Federal records to determine whether they 
warrant preservation by the U.S. Government.
Federal Records Centers  These Centers are for the storage and servicing 
of non-current and certain active records of Federal agencies. Services 
include the storage of textual and special media records; storage for 
non-classified and classified records; retrieval of records to fulfill 
statutory requirements and conduct daily business; special projects to 
respond to sudden shifts in customer demands; expedited response to 
congressional inquiries, litigation, and urgent business needs; and 
disposition services, providing disposal for records that have reached 
their required retention period or transfer to the holdings of the 
National Archives for permanent records.
Regional Archives  Historically valuable records of high regional 
significance are maintained in most of these facilities. Many important 
original records held in NARA facilities in the Washington, DC, area, 
are available in microform in most of these regional facilities. These 
facilities arrange and preserve the records and prepare finding aids to 
facilitate their use; make the records available for use in research 
rooms; answer written or oral requests for information contained in the 
holdings; and for a fee, provide copies of the records.
National Personnel Records Center  The Center directs activities for 
storing, servicing, and disposing civilian (personnel, medical, and pay 
records of former U.S. Civil Service employees) and military records 
(personnel and medical records of inactive military personnel); and 
provides Federal agencies with a full range of services and technical 
advice relating to records disposition, filing and classification 
schemes, and protection of vital civilian and military records.

National Historical Publications and Records Commission  The National 
Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) is the grant-
making affiliate of the National Archives and Records Administration. 
Its mission is to promote the preservation and use of America's 
documentary heritage essential to understanding our democracy, history, 
and culture. NHPRC grants help State and local archives, universities, 
historical societies, and other nonprofit organizations solve 
preservation problems dealing with electronic records, improve training 
and techniques, strengthen archival programs, preserve and process 
records collections, and provide access to them through the publication 
of finding aids and documentary editions of the papers of the Founding

Information Security Oversight Office  The Information Security 
Oversight Office (ISOO) oversees the security classification programs in 
both Government and industry and reports to the President annually on 
their status. Two Executive orders serve as the authority for ISOO, and 
the Office receives its policy and program guidance from the National 
Security Council. An organizational component of the National Archives 
and Records Administration, ISOO's goals are to hold classification 
activity to the minimum necessary to protect the national security; to 
ensure the safeguarding of classified national security information in 
both Government and industry in a cost-effective and efficient manner; 
and to promote declassification and public access to information as soon 
as national security considerations permit.

For further information, contact the Information Security Oversight 
Office. Phone, 202-357-5250.
