Tour of the National Archives and Records Administration Pacific Alaska Region office in Seattle, May 17, 2005

The Pacific Alaska region is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the federal agency that, by law, preserves and provides access to permanently valuable, noncurrent Federal records with historical, legal, or fiscal value. The Seattle site has over 34,000 cubic feet of historical records dating from about 1850 to the 1990s, among them photographs, maps, and architectural drawings. These materials are available to anyone who needs historical information created or received by the federal government - historians, genealogists, veterans, lawyers, scholars, government officials, environmentalists, students, and others.
