Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by the United States forever. That job falls to NARA. The National Archives and Records Administration serves American democracy by safeguarding and preserving the records of the Government, ensuring that the people can discover, use, and learn from it documentary heritage. The archives also ensure continuing access to the essential documentation of the rights of American citizens and the actions of their government. The NARA goal is to support democracy, promote civic education, and facilitate historical understanding of the U.S. national experience.[1]
