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, as archival records, 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. These holdings include the records of the 
U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, which are preserved 
and administered by the Center for Legislative Archives. Many important 
records are available on microfilm and on the NARA Web site at 
www.archives.gov. Archival records created in the Washington, DC, area 
and in the custody of NARA are maintained in NARA facilities in the 
Washington, DC, area. Archival 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 
nine affiliated archives that hold NARA-owned records on behalf of NARA 
and make them available to the public.
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.

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; 
preserves and makes available permanent electronic records; and 
coordinates technical assistance to Federal agencies on records 
creation, management, and disposition to agencies in the Washington, DC, 
area. For more information, log on 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 Director 
of the Records Management Division, Washington National Records Center.

Office of Regional Records Services

The Office of Regional Records Services 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. NARA maintains information about the records 
management 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 
nonclassified 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  Archival records of high regional significance are 
maintained in 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 stores, services, and 
disposes of civilian personnel, medical, and pay records of former U.S. 
Civil Service employees and military personnel and medical records of 
discharged military personnel. It has a research room for referencing 
official military personnel folders and other related records. The 
Center also provides Federal agencies with services and technical advice 
relating to records disposition, filing and classification schemes, and 
protection of vital civilian and military records.

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
