“The National Archives …. is a public trust on which our democracy depends. It enables people to inspect for themselves the record of what government has done. It enables officials and agencies to review their actions and helps citizens hold them accountable. It ensures continuing access to essential evidence that documents:
• the rights of American citizens• the actions of Federal officials• the national experience”
