The American Story museum exhibition is now open at the National Archives in Washington, DC! This is an educational experience that showcases the sheer volume of stories within the National Archives and how they connect to each visitor. Here are some facts about the new museum:

Congress has restored funding of appropriated activities, and the National Archives has begun to restore normal operations. We are working to open to the public as soon as possible. Please check archives.gov for updates.
We’re sorry, but we will not be able to post updates to our social media channels during the government shutdown. All National Archives events–virtual or in person–are canceled until further notice. We will be unable to reply to messages or emails until the government reopens.

"Knowledge is or should be universal; it was meant to be shared; & it has the peculiar quality about it that, when its parts are brought together, the result is a multiplication rather than a mere addition of those values." ~DDE, 9/16/1959. Photo: Eisenhower Pres. Library, 62-54
