Abstract
Abstract Each year thousands of researchers, including government officials, lawyers, journalists, genealogists, and historians, among others, visit one of the eleven National Archives Field Branches to conduct their research. Many thousands more, desiring to use Federal Archival resources, are unaware of these archival depositories and their varied resources. Unfortunately, most Americans, when they think about their nation's archives, envision the main National Archives building located in Washington, D.C. on Pennsylvania Avenue, halfway between the Capitol and the White House. Yet, since the late 1960s, the National Archives has, in its regional branches, stored and serviced many of the nation's archives and other research material. This article explains why these regional archives branches were established, what research resources they hold and make available, and their value to researchers.
