Highlights from the On-site Exhibits in the National Archives, Kansas City, MO
The Central Plains Region offers small, temporary exhibits in the lobby area. Exhibits use facsimile copies of original records held by the region in order to protect the original documents from harmful ultraviolet light.
All of our exhibits are designed to educate visitors about the records we hold and how they may be of use to them. Exhibits are changed every two to three months, and focus on a variety of topics. Call (816) 268-8000 for the exhibit schedule.
Below are links to images and information about our exhibits.
