National Archives and Records Administration
The NCC is proud to be the first National Archives Experieance Alliance member. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) preserves our nation's history by overseeing the management of all federal records, a documentary heritage that helps to define us as a people.

Nearly one-third of the more than 100 original documents and artifacts on display in the NCC's long-term exhibition have been loaned by NARA and its affiliated presidential libraries. A commitment to partnering in the development of traveling exhibits is another major aspect of the National Archives Experience-NCC alliance. The traveling exhibit initiative reflects both institutions' dedication to public education and enrichment through the display of historic material.
