The Regional Archives in San Francisco.

Our holdings are comprised of Federal records from northern and central California, Nevada (except Clark County), Hawaii, American Samoa and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, and constitute a major primary resource for the study of Asian-Pacific immigration, environmental, Naval, Native American, and many other aspects of American history. The Records Center Program provides temporary storage of retired Federal records. Additionally, our Records Management program staff provides assistance to Federal agencies throughout these locations.
