U.S. government archives
U.S. government archives are official repositories that store and preserve important records and documents created by government agencies. They include a wide range of materials, such as historical documents, legal papers, photographs, and digital files, which are accessible to the public for research and education. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the primary agency responsible for managing these archives. These archives not only help trace the history and decisions of the government but also ensure transparency and accountability by allowing citizens to access information about their government.
