About the Archival Research Catalog (ARC)
• The Archival Research Catalog or ARC is the online catalog of NARA's nationwide holdings in the Washington, DC area, Regional Archives and Presidential Libraries.
• ARC is a work in progress. Currently over 68% of our records are described in ARC. More descriptions are added regularly.
• ARC allows you to search for records in all NARA facilities across the country.
• ARC contains descriptions of NARA records and approximately 155,000 digitized copies of records.
• ARC is a catalog. It is not a database of records like AAD or Ancestry.com.
