Our National Archives Building socks are a whimsical and patriotic addition to any wardrobe, embodying the spirit of American history and neo-classical architecture in a cozy, wearable form! Here we are pleased to present the National Archives building in Washington, D.C., decked out in the eye-catching flag banners that adorn the Corinthian columns on the Portico on the 4th of July every year. The majestic structure, known for housing the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, is intricately woven into the fabric, creating a tapestry of national significance to adorn your feet.

The National Archives is the keeper of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. But we also hold in trust for the public the records of ordinary citizens—for example, military records of the brave men and women who have fought for our country, naturalization records of the immigrants whose dreams have shaped our nation, and even the canceled check from the purchase of Alaska.

In the holdings of the National Archives there are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
