Kansas City, (MO)…The Central Plains Regional Archives will be temporarily closed for research on Mondays from the week of October 20, 2008, through the week of March 30, 2009, to prepare for relocation to the new Central Plains Regional Headquarters and Regional Archives.
The current address is: National Archives-Central Plains Region, 2312 East Bannister Road, Kansas City, MO 64131. The new address will be: National Archives-Central Plains Region, 400 West Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108
In April 2009, the Central Plains Regional Archives will move to a new facility at the Union Station complex in Kansas City. The new facility will greatly improve public access to archival records and ensure that the archival records are stored under proper environmental conditions. The temporary, once-weekly closure will allow staff to complete activities necessary for the move, such as reboxing, description, and holdings maintenance.
The actual shipping of records will take place through March 2009. During the move, there may be delays in retrieving records that are in transit. A listing of records in transit is posted and regularly updated on the NARA web site (http://www.archives.gov/central-plains/kansas-city/records-unavailable.html).
For more information, contact the Central Plains Regional Archives at 816-268-8000.
