Preservation Lab at the National Archives-- Boxing our Treasures
The video takes viewers inside the preservation lab at the National Archives where specialists construct custom boxes for items as varied as a Cold War-era pistol and a 1761 Indian treaty. The boxes can be simple affairs, built to house a book -- or extremely complex, holding multiple, related items in multi-chambered constructions.
Conservation technician Richard Hnat shows how items are digitally measured and conservation specialist Doug Mcrae shows how those measurements are translated into custom instructions for the Archives' automated box-making machine. Gail Harriman explains that the materials used to construct housings meet rigid archival standards: acid free, lignin free, high cotton content, etc.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES BUILDING: HOME OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE (4K)
The National Archives building in Washington, D.C. holds the most important documents in American history. The most important document is the only surviving original signed copy of the Declaration of Independence. As you will see, the document is in poor shape and I explain why in the video. Having said that, there are some very interesting little-known facts about the Declaration which I discuss, including the mystery surrounding something that is on the Declaration that shouldn't be there. In addition to the Declaration of Independence, the National Archives also features original copies of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If you want to see the original documents which laid the foundation for the United States of America, then a visit to the National Archives is a must!

The boxes can be simple affairs, built to house a book -- or extremely complex, holding multiple, related items in multi-chambered constructions.
Conservation technician Richard Hnat shows how items are digitally measured and conservation specialist Doug Mcrae shows how those measurements are translated into custom instructions for the Archives' automated box-making machine. Gail Harriman explains that the materials used to construct housings meet rigid archival standards: acid free, lignin free, high cotton content, etc.

In this Inside the Vaults video short, Chief of Reference at the National Archives Trevor Plante literally takes viewers inside the Archives vaults to see some of his favorite rarely-displayed documents. They include:
• The original text of the "Virginia Plan," Edmund Randolph's proposal for a national government that included three co-equal branches: "supreme legislative, judiciary and executive";
• A printed copy of the Constitution with George Washington's handwritten annotations;
• The final printed copy of the Constitution, which was delivered to the Constitutional Convention September 13, 1787, approved by vote on September 15, and then signed on September 17; and
• The state of Pennsylvania's ratification copy of the Constitution — unlike the four-page version of the Constitution on display at the National Archives in Washington, DC, the entire text is on one enormous sheet of parchment so it could be more easily transported.
Inside the Vaults includes highlights from the National Archives in the Washington, DC, area and from the Presidential libraries and regional archives nationwide. These shorts present behind-the-scenes exclusives and offer surprising stories about the National Archives treasures. See more from Inside the Vaults at http://bit.ly/NNljwi.

Welcome to The National Archives, a hidden gem in Richmond, west London, housing over 1,000 years of the nation's stories. Tucked away in leafy Kew, just a 10 minute walk from Kew Gardens Station, we are free and open to all - everyone is welcome to explore our exhibitions, beautiful gardens and the treasures in our collection. From royal love letters to 20th century prime ministers, the doomsday book to cold war spies, our collections hold some of the world's most iconic historic documents, as well as revealing a more hidden and personal side to history.
You can get hands on with some scribblings by Alan Turing, which turned out to be pretty important, First World War diaries, plans for some wacky inventions, recordings of alien sightings, and even some of the first maps of Australia - that one surprised us too.
There's so much to discover here, over 11 million records to be exact and, as one of the world's largest archival collections, even the mildly curious will find a story to excite them. Our fun, year round family trails take time travelers of all ages on adventures in, and around our grounds unlocking historical discoveries along the way. Whether you're exploring our exhibitions or finding the joy of opening your first archive box inside our reading rooms, experiencing everything on offer here can be thirsty work. Visitors can refuel from our well-stocked cafe with plenty of stunning spots to share your finds with friends. Watch our wildlife from the picnic benches or gaze over our lakes from the balcony over lunch before visiting our shop, which is bursting with gifts, books, and incredible cards. Visit The National Archives from 9am Tuesday-Saturday by bus, bike, car, or train.

The records cover the "Old Military" period from the Revolutionary War to 1917 and are characterized by different types of service, including volunteer service (state regiments and militias) as well as the Regular military (Army, Navy, and Marine Corps).

The National Archives building in Washington, D.C. holds the most important documents in American history. The most important document is the only surviving original signed copy of the Declaration of Independence. As you will see, the document is in poor shape and I explain why in the video. Having said that, there are some very interesting little-known facts about the Declaration which I discuss, including the mystery surrounding something that is on the Declaration that shouldn't be there. In addition to the Declaration of Independence, the National Archives also features original copies of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If you want to see the original documents which laid the foundation for the United States of America, then a visit to the National Archives is a must!
