Alaska Digitization Project
Digitization Process and Updates
Digitizing the records from the former Alaska region is a top priority of the National Archives. In working towards this goal, the records are being temporarily moved to the National Archives at College Park.
Records located at College Park for digitization will not be available in the research room; however, reference inquires are being handled by staff in Seattle and College Park although responses may be impacted during the prep and scanning process. The National Archives at Seattle will provide in-person reference service for the records that remain in Seattle.
You may send reference inquiries regarding the affected records by email to seattle.archives@nara.gov or by postal mail to 6125 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, Washington 98115-7999.
As Alaska records are digitized and made available via the National Archives Catalog, we will update the following section with links to the scanned images. Where digitization is listed as upcoming, links go to the corresponding catalog series description.
The Alaska records are being digitized regardless of access issues. NARA is committed to protecting the personally identifiable information (PII) pertaining to living individuals in the records. Digitized records containing PII will not be made available in the National Archives Catalog until those records are reviewed and redacted. In the meantime, series marked Digitized but Restricted can be requested by contacting the National Archives at Seattle.

Enhanced Discovery
NARA has added additional metadata to several high-interest records. This additional metadata supports improved discovery of the material in the National Archives Catalog. Digital images from these records may be added over time.
