The National Archives is more than just the nation's record keeper and protector of records. It is the steward of the American story that preserves the past to protect the future. The records it holds are the original sources of that story, documenting the collective history of our nation through the actions of individuals and institutions. Every day, the National Archives and Records Administration touches the lives of people all over the nation from the visitors who come to see the Constitution to the government officials seeking assistance in managing their records of their agencies. Yet changes in the federal government, in our society, and in the nature of records themselves drive the National Archives to change the way it does business and how it addresses the needs of the choosers.
How is the National Archives transforming the way it does business?
What about its digitization strategy, and how can you become a citizen archivist?
We will explore these questions and so much more with our very special guest, David Ferriero, archivist of the United States.
