Not only the Archivist alone but all who work for NARA are designated custodians of America's national memory.

As the custodian of the national livestock studs, ADC ensures the continued existence of the breeds and the availability of quality stock to the Kenyan farmer at affordable prices.

In the Federal Government, electronic records are as indispensable as their paper counterparts for documenting citizens' rights, the actions for which officials are accountable, and the nation's history.

Classified agreements are the antithesis of our reason for being. Our focus is on the preservation of records and ensuring their availability to the American public, while at the same time fulfilling the people's expectation that we will properly safeguard the classified records entrusted to our custody.

The idea is to let people get on with their research and not reclassify documents unless it's absolutely necessary.

This is an important step to achieve our goal to become an archive without walls. For the first time, the public will be able to view this collection of rare and unusual films on the Internet emphasizing the importance of providing access to records anytime, anywhere.
