What Do We Lose If We Lose the National Archives?

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) stands as a vital institution, preserving the documentary heritage of the United States. It safeguards billions of records, from founding documents to the everyday accounts of ordinary Americans, ensuring that the nation’s history remains accessible and intact. But what happens if this cornerstone of democracy is lost? The consequences would be devastating and far-reaching, affecting government transparency, historical research, cultural identity, and public access to information.

The Role of the National Archives

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is a vital institution in the United States, responsible for preserving and providing access to the nation’s most important historical records. Established in 1934, NARA serves as the official custodian of the country’s documentary heritage, ensuring the preservation of government documents and promoting public access to this wealth of information. The agency’s mission is deeply rooted in transparency, accountability, and historical preservation, making it a cornerstone of American democracy.
