How do I search ARC to find online copies of historical documents, photographs, films, and other materials?
ARC features a separate Digital Copies Search for finding archival descriptions that link to digital copies of historical documents, photographs, films, sound files, and web sites. See Search Tips for Digital Copies Search for more detailed instructions. ARC also contains descriptions to other online resources as well as to electronic records that are available online through the Access to Archival Databases (AAD). To find these descriptions, please include AND AAD in your search parameters in the Archival Descriptions Search. Other online resources may be available from NARA partner organizations; to find those types of resources include AND http% in your search parameters in the Archival Descriptions Search. Browse the ARC Galleries, which highlight many digitized documents and photographs from ARC. Find selected digital copies in ARC of special interest to teachers on the page Primary Sources for Educators and Students.
