Research Our Records

Move of Records from RG 255

Staff at the National Archives at College Park are moving approximately 31 series (490 cubic feet) of NASA records related to the Goddard Space Flight Center and the Langley Research Center to the National Archives at Philadelphia. Similar records are already housed at the National Archives at Philadelphia, and this relocation will facilitate more efficient archival research and public access to these records. 

The records transferred to Philadelphia, PA are listed below.

Closure Date at the National Archives at College Park: September 1, 2017

Estimated Date Available for Researchers at the National Archives at Philadelphia: September 18, 2017

Please keep in mind that the date listed above for opening the materials is an estimate. If there is a significant change to this schedule we will post it in the consultation areas at the National Archives at College Park and National Archives at Philadelphia.
