The web version of the Guide to Federal Records in the National Archives of the United States is based on a paper version with the same title and is not updated to reflect changes in holdings. For the most up-to-date information on National Archives holdings, please visit the National Archives Catalog. In the Catalog, you can find descriptions of our holdings and access electronic records and digitized copies of our holdings, where available. Researchers should use the National Archives Catalog to identify records of interest when conducting research and making reference requests.

Record Groups Without Descriptions

The record group that you are interested in does not have a description associated with it. This may be due to one of three reasons:

The record group was created in anticipation of the transfer of archival records, and no transfer had been made at the time this guide was updated. This accounts for the following series of record group numbers:

RG	RG	RG	RG	RG	RG	RG
201 271 281 289 290 292 297 299 300 316 329	339 343 344 346 347 361 367 371 372 377 379	384 385 386 388 390 400 402 408 413 415 420	422 425 426 427 433 437 438 439 440 444 445	446 447 451 454 455 458 461 465 468 470 474	475 476 477 480 481 483 484 485 486 487 488	500 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509

The record group number is no longer in use. This accounts for the following record group numbers:

RG	RG	RG	RG	RG	RG	RG
189 200	282 283	285 301	332 348	356 401	421 450	491 501

The record group description is in preparation. If the record group you wish to consult does not have a description and it does not appear in any of the two categories above, contact the National Archives and Records Administration for further information. Remember to indicate the record group number in your inquiry.
