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 NARA archives locations throughout the country. 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 [[Page 433]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] T217558.047 [[Page 434]] workshops and records management assistance upon request and will assist agencies with their records storage problems.

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 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 dispositionservices, 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. Archives locations provide the public free access to these records, to Internet resources helpful for genealogical and historical research, and to expert staff available to guide visitors. On-site workshops teach the general public, educators, and students how to use archives for their hobby, school-related, or professional interests. Many important original records held in NARA facilities in the Washington, DC area are available in microform in most of these facilities. Archival staff 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 the civilian personnel, medical, and pay records of former U.S. Civil Service employees and military personnel and medical records of discharged military personnel. Including the National Archives at St. Louis, the facility provides research rooms in which the public and Federal agency personnel can reference official military personnel folders and other related records. The Center also [[Page 435]] provides Federal agencies with services and technical advice relating to records disposition, filing and classification schemes, and protection of vital civilian and military records.

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.).
