Accessions and Openings for the 3rd Quarter 2007: National Archives and Records Administration

New accessions are Federal records and other historical material, such as Presidential papers, recently added to the National Archives. Usually these materials are not available for research until they have been processed. This includes arranging and placing the materials in proper containers, describing the content of the materials in a finding aid, and reviewing the materials for any donor or general restrictions.

Openings describe those historical materials that have been processed or declassified and are now ready for researchers to use.

Material is organized by where it’s found:
+ Washington D.C. area
+ Regional Archives
+ Presidential Libraries

Material found in the D.C. area is divided into two categories
+ Electronic Records
+ Special Media
