Simplicity is elegant, yet powerful. Our classic white ceramic mug with black rim, classic C-handle, and black text answers "Yes!" to its own question."

The holdings of the National Archives are vast, and it seems like there is no topic you can throw at us and we can't come up with records on the subject.

In a democracy, records belong to the people, and for more than seven decades, the National Archives has preserved and provided access to the records of the United States of America. Records help us claim our rights and entitlements, hold our elected officials accountable for their actions, and document our history as a nation. In short, the National Archives in its important work to preserve our nation's history ensures continuing access to the essential documentation of the rights of American citizens and the actions of their government.
