The National Security Archive, George Washington University.
An independent non-governmental research institute and library located at The George Washington University, the Archive collects and publishes declassified documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The Archive also serves as a repository of government records on a wide range of topics pertaining to the national security, foreign, intelligence, and economic policies of the United States. The Archive is our most frequent requester, with their requests representing approximately one third of our overall workload. Consequently, the Archive is a good source of DoD information.

FamilySearch.org
FamilySearch.org is a
non-profit service sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Church believes that every person is important and that families are meant to be both sacred and eternal. The Church encourages all people to find their ancestors and preserve their family histories. To help in this great pursuit, the Church has been actively gathering and preserving genealogical records worldwide for over 100 years. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints learned that interest in family history is not limited by culture, ethnicity or religious faith. People around the world are innately and intensely interested in their family heritage. Because the Church's family history efforts are funded by charitable donations, it freely offers its resources to anyone interested in finding their family's roots.
