To celebrate a big anniversary—our 75th—the National Archives presents this exhibition featuring big records, big events, and big ideas. A special highlight of the exhibition is the first printing of the Declaration of Independence, produced on the night of July 4-5, 1776—one of the greatest treasures in the holdings.
