We are very fortunate at the @USNatArchives to hold the original master plans of @NatlParkService parks and monuments from 1931-1941. The art on the covers is magnificent, as can be seen on this master plan for @DinosaurNPS !

Chief justices and judges from Sri Lanka and the Maldives visited the National Archives today to learn more about the critical role that records play in our democracy. The National Archives provides access to America’s most important government records. @TheJusticeDept ’s #OPDAT

More than 1.5 million visitors come to the National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, every year to see our nation’s founding documents and other exhibits. I recently met students from Fulton, IL, and families from Troy, UT, and Oil City, PA.

I was delighted to welcome my former @librarycongress colleagues to the Archives today. They work for the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled, a wonderful program that enables everyone to read. ❤️
