Records Transferred to the Custody of the National Archives at Kansas City

Effective October 25, 2021, custody of the series of records listed below will transfer from the National Archives at Philadelphia to the National Archives at Kansas City. All future reference requests will be handled by the staff in Kansas City. Any requests to use the records in person will be conducted in the research room in Kansas City and require two business days advance notice.* Reference requests should be submitted to: kansascity.archives@nara.gov

The affected records have been stored in the Kansas City area for over 15 years and Kansas City staff have been assisting with reference requests on the records for the past 10 years. The change in custody ensures that all necessary records accessioning, processing, description, preservation, and reference services can take place at the location where the records are housed.

*In person use of records in the research room is dependent upon the re-opening of the research room which is currently closed due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
