The National Archives Catalog

What’s New in the National Archives Catalog

► Most Recent Import: January 2025

Record imports can include new descriptions, additional digital items linked to existing descriptions, and groups of scanned descriptions with their digital objects. The records come from various sources, such as our own digitization projects, digitization partnerships, and contributions from staff, researchers, and volunteers. Most updates consist of batches of records from larger descriptions, but sometimes they include a complete description that has been fully digitized. Learn the relationships between archival descriptions and their creators in the National Archives Catalog Data Model.
