Customer Service at the National Archives
Ensuring that people can discover, use, and learn from the documentary heritage preserved in the National Archives is a cornerstone of our strategic plan, Preserving the Past to Protect the Future: The Strategic Plan of the National Archives and Records Administration, 2006-2016.
How we will do this is spelled out in the specific performance targets of the plan. Two, in particular, describe our goal to provide prompt, easy, and secure access to our holdings anywhere, anytime, and increase access to our records in ways that further civic literacy in America. Our commitment to achieving these goals is reflected in the many customer service standards in the plan, compiled for your convenience in Appendix A. These standards reflect your expectations and needs.
We need to hear from you so that we can continue to use our resources to serve you best. Please continue to let us know what is most important to you!
