The Central Plains Region is in the process of moving to a facility in the Union Station District of Kansas City, MO. In preparation, a number of our records must be relocated. Unfortunately, this process interrupts the reference service of some records.
Please be aware that reference service is not currently available for the following series of records:
- U.S. District Court for the Eastern (St. Louis) Division of the Eastern District of Missouri.
Equity and Law Case Files, compiled 1857–1938 (ARC ID: 562790)
- U.S. Circuit Court for the Eastern (St. Louis) Division of the Eastern District of Missouri. Law, Equity, and Criminal Case Files, 1838–1912 (ARC ID: 572482)
The National Archives – Central Plains Region web site will be updated as to the status of this move, and specifically when these and other records in transition will become available for reference. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause researchers. We look forward to resuming complete reference service to our patrons in the not too distant future.
