NARA

Last night Maureen Edwards gave an overview of the National Archives and Records Administration, located in Washington, D.C. We saw the process of entering the archives and learned about the records that are available and how to access them. The website is at www.archives.gov. However, if you are interested in the list of items that have been digitized, you can visit www.archives.gov/digitization/digitized-by-partners.html.

Maureen suggested that if you are planning to visit the D. C. area, you spend time on the website so that you know exactly what records you plan to use, as many will be brought to the reading area for you at specific times during the day.

We also learned about the Library of Congress and the DAR building; two other sites of interest if you are planning a trip to Washington, D.C.

Thanks, Maureen!
