The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) website has a wealth of resources that can be used for genealogical research. Information about records located at NARA in Washington, DC, and the NARA regional branches is online and waiting for you to discover them. Some of the actual records are even online and don't require a visit. This lecture will guide you through the different areas of the website, show the resources available there, and how to use those resources for your research.

Thanks for the syllabus and this information!!
Thank you! Several record types caught my eye and I will have to explore and investigate.
Excellent summarizing the parts of this expansive collection most relevant to genealogists. It's time to get out of the Library and investigate our National Archive,
Julie gave great tips on how to find things on the intimidating NARA website. An excellent webinar and I plan to quickly put it to good use this winter.
So informative!
Clear, concise, and well organized. Just scratched the surface, but provided an excellent starting point for genealogical research.
So much information!--But wonderful handout that will be very helpful to consult! Thank you Julie Miller and thnak you Legacy!
I used their microfilm rental program for years. It's great to learn about using their website. Thank you so much.
