Today’s post comes from Tim Enas, Chief of Textual Accessioning at the National Archives at College Park.
Staff at the National Archives at College Park are moving approximately 315 cubic feet of personnel related records to the National Archives at St. Louis. The series being transferred complement the mission, function, and holdings of the National Archives at St. Louis. These series document personal data and pertain to individuals, rather than organizations; and, logically belong with the records that constitute the core holdings of the National Archives at St. Louis. This relocation to St. Louis will facilitate more efficient archival research and public access to these records.
