The National Archives has records of genealogical interest including: Federal population censuses for all states, 1790-1930; Revolutionary War military service records; pension and bounty land warrant applications; passenger arrival records for many East Coast and Gulf Coast ports; and Canadian border entry records.
The National Archives also has almost 30,000 cubic feet of original archival material dating from 1789 to the 1970s. These records were created or received by the Federal courts and over 80 Federal agencies in New England. We will host special events and provide programs for your organization (including Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, students, teachers, senior citizens, and others).
The mission of the National Archives is to ensure, for the Citizen and the Public Servant, for the President and the Congress and the Courts, ready access to essential evidence.
