National Archives and
Records Administration

Anyone who has cleaned out a family attic
knows the importance of keeping family records.
You may have military records from relatives
who served in one of the World Wars—or even
the Civil War. You might also have photographs
of your great-great grandparents on the day
they became American citizens. Now imagine
the task of the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA)—record keepers for all
historically valuable records created by agencies

of the Federal Government.

From one building on Pennsylvania Avenue in
Washington, DC, the National Archives has
grown to multiple archival locations nationwide,

from sea to shining sea.

Make an Appointment to Use
Original Records

Our staff is here and ready to assist you. Please call
817-551-2051 to make an appointment before visiting.
Since research is sometimes time-consuming, you may
need to visit more than once!

Please bring identification such as a driver's license,
passport, or student ID so that we can issue you a
researcher card.

Please plan on leaving your personal belongings in a
locker. Laptop computers are permitted.

Get Copies of Records

At our John Burgess location, our staff will make or
arrange for the duplication of records and provide
certified copies for a fee.

Self-service copying of originals records may be
allowed depending on the condition of the records.
