The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is an independent Federal agency that preserves and shares with the public records that trace the story of our nation, government, and the American people. NARA became an independent federal agency in 1985 to ensure ready access to essential evidence for citizens, public servant, the President and for the Congress and the Courts. Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by NARA forever. Through NARA, people can inspect for themselves the record of what government has done and it enables officials and agencies to review their actions and help citizens hold them accountable.
