The National Archives Catalog is the online public portal to our records and information about our records. The catalog currently provides access to over 2 million electronic records currently in the Electronic Records Archives (ERA), which are not available elsewhere online.
To find copies of Federal records on our website and/or information about the records and their historical context, you will have to look in several places. Some sources listed are databases while others are online guides, publications, and exhibits.
We’re excited to announce that in the National Archives Catalog you can now:
- Enjoy the updated homepage featuring background images from Catalog records
- Add your comments on digitized records, descriptions, and authority records
- Find what you need with a more intuitive advanced search
- Efficiently browse search results with better “Next Page” link placement
- Track your citizen archivist contributions with updated user account pages
- Add data from scanned records to your developer toolbox with increased API functionality
We Want to Hear from You!
