2010 was an extremely good year for theFoundation for the National Archives. I amproud to report that the Foundation was able to provide approximately $3.5 million for innovative educational products and programming to help teach Americans about the depth and diversity of records here and the importance of the work of
the National Archives in preserving our history.
The Foundation is extremely proud of its role in the design, fabrication, and promotion of the National Archives Experience’s “Discovering the Civil War” exhibition at the National Archives Buildingin Washington, D.C., in 2010. The exhibition itself, an accompanyingbook published by the Foundation, related products in the ArchivesShop, fresh lesson plans in the Boeing Learning Center and online,and our numerous marketing initiatives were made possible throughgenerous contributions from our loyal donors like you. In 2011 andbeyond, the exhibition will travel around the United States, educatingmore Americans about the work of the National Archives.
2010 also marked a major advancement in our efforts to expand theArchives’ innovative online offerings. The Foundation helped develop,build, and promote the revolutionary new website, www.DocsTeach.org,which allows teachers and students of all ages to interact online andlearn about history, civics, science, and math through the Archives’records. Teachers around the country have embraced the website, and we thank them for responding by creating their own online activities and sharing them with each other.
With your support, the Foundation worked in 2010 to enrich the visitorexperience at the Archives for museum visitors and researchers. The Foundation continued its support of annual museum activities, including the National Archives’ July 4th celebration and ConstitutionDay, and we were happy to provide advertising and audience development funding for museum exhibits and related programs inthe Lawrence F. O’Brien Gallery and the William G. McGowan Theater.
To assist researchers, the Foundation was pleased to support the installation of wireless connectivity in the National Archives’ researchrooms in Washington, D.C., and at the National Archives at CollegePark, Maryland. We also continued our support of the annual National Archives Genealogy Fair, bringing together record numbers of researchers and archivists in their quests to discover their own family histories.
I invite you to join us in celebrating these successes of 2010, allmade possible by your support. We look forward to continuing ourwork in 2011.
2010 has been a year of transformation at the National Archives as we work to improve the way our agency meets the needs of our customers and our staff, update ourIT tools and skills to perform our jobs better in the digital age, and make our agency a great place to work, where we learn fromeach other, as well as from our clientele,
volunteers, and visitors.
At this critical moment in our agency’s history, I am proud of the great partnership we have built with the Foundation for the NationalArchives. Thanks to the work of the National Archives staff and ourpartners at the Foundation, as well as the support of private donorslike you, millions of people from around the world are visiting the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C., and our regional facilities and Presidential libraries and museums around the country.They are seeing our traveling exhibitions at venues throughout the nation, and they are tapping the incredible resources of the NationalArchives through a growing number of online initiatives.
In 2010, we have become a leader in the use of social media in government, with two dozen Facebook pages, eight blogs, and a Wiki-hub for researchers. More than 1,200 of our historical videos are now available on YouTube. Readers can see our flagship publication, Prologue, through their mobile phones or iPads, and thousands of our photos are now available online through Flickr and Pictopia. We even have a Wikipedian in Residence!
Our National Declassification Center is clearing the backlog of millions of pages of classified documents to get these records declassified and on the shelves for researchers as quickly as possible. We are digitizing the entire 1940 Census in preparation for its April 2012 opening, and continue to work with private partners and volunteers who have been digitizing records relating to the Civil War, the Holocaust, and the Vietnam War.
And finally, thanks to the support of the Foundation, our researchrooms have gone wireless!
As we face the challenges ahead, we are proud to continue our strong partnership with the Foundation. The efforts of the Board and staff of the Foundation to promote the National Archives help us to reach new audiences and educate the public about our mission: to preserve the most important records of our democracyand make them accessible to the people.
I look forward to working with the Foundation to build on this outstanding partnership in 2011.

Foundation Supports “Discovering the Civil War” ExhibitionThe Foundation was proud to partnerwith the National Archives Experience’sexhibition team to launch the landmarkexhibition, “Discovering the Civil War,”shown in the Lawrence F. O’Brien Galleryin 2010. The exhibition, which begins a national tour in 2011, explores ournation’s most defining conflict from a variety of angles and viewpoints,through the unrivaled collection of Civil War documents in the NationalArchives. This exhibit focuses on the war’s impact on everyday people andemphasizes that by searching through the Archives’ records, one can learn moreabout well-known events and discoverpreviously unknown stories.
The design, fabrication and shipping of the exhibit was provided by private dollars raised by the Foundation. Thispartnership has created the largesttraveling exhibit ever to come out of theArchives and includes originals, facsimilesand computer interactives, all inviting ourguests to step into the shoes of a researcherand discover more about the Civil War.
One of the computer-based interactivesfrom the exhibit includes an animatedvideo chronicling the fascinating story of the CSS Alabama, a Confederatewarship sunk off the coast of France.
This video feature attracted a wide rangeof audiences touring the exhibition withits impressive graphics and unique style of presenting the story.
Other interactives in the exhibit includeda video welcoming message from an“archivist” working in the stacks of theNational Archives, and a socialnetworking tool allowing visitors to see the connections between friends,classmates, and military buddies laterseparated by the war. Visitors to theexhibit were also encouraged to use their own electronic devices to “tweet”their reactions to the exhibit and to ask questions, which were answered in real time by Archives volunteers.
In addition to publishing the exhibitioncatalog, Discovering the Civil War, theFoundation developed a line of otherCivil War-related merchandise, includingCivil War-themed stationery, a postcardbook of Civil War-era maps, andpaperweights and jewelry incorporatingthe authentic “red tape” once used to bind Civil War-era government records together.
The Foundation’s marketing teamsupported the exhibit through pressevents, outdoor banners above the
Archives’ steps, and advertising inWashington, D.C., publications, metro stations, bus shelters, and on the sides of buses.
The Foundation also hosted theexhibition’s opening and preview, treating members and supporters to an elegant reception in the RotundaGalleries, as well as a curator-guided tour.
The Foundation thanks AT&T, KarenPritzker and The Seedlings Foundation,Richard Eliasberg, Retired Lt. Col.William Konze and Alice Konze, MarvinWeissberg and Judith Morris, Ken and PatLore, and Russell and the late BudgeWeidman for their generous support of“Discovering the Civil War.”

DocsTeach (www.DocsTeach.org)
On September 20, 2010, in The BoeingLearning Center, the Foundation and the National Archives’ education teamintroduced our latest online venture,DocsTeach, to members of the historyeducation community. Teachersnationwide quickly responded withenthusiasm and resounding participation.
The DocsTeach website, created withsupport from Texas Instruments, featuresthousands of documents from theholdings of the National Archives, as wellas a suite of clever tools that encourageusers to interact with and learn moreabout those documents. Thoughprimarily designed for teachers andstudents, the site has been very wellreceived by other visitors who love tolearn about history. One blogger noted,“This site makes me wish I were a history teacher!”
Created with the help of Second StoryInteractive, the seven tools featured onDocsTeach are designed to teach specifichistorical thinking skills, includingweighing evidence, interpreting data, and focusing on details. Each employsinteractive components such as puzzles,scales, maps, and flow charts thatteachers and students can tailor to their needs.
On the website, educators can browse or search for documents and activities,customize any activity to fit the needs of
a unique classroom, create a brand newactivity with its own web address fromscratch, and save and organize activitiesin an account to share with students.After participating in an activity, the site allows students to submit their work totheir teacher via e-mail. DocsTeach isrevolutionary because the interactive is the lesson.
At the event in September, we asked the education community’s help inpromoting the site and encouragingteachers to use it. By the end of 2010,DocsTeach had nearly 4,000 registeredusers and had been visited by people inall 50 states, Washington, D.C., andmore than a hundred other countriesaround the world!
The Foundation thanks Texas Instrumentsfor its generous support of DocsTeach.

Publications
Working with the National Archives’exhibition team, the Foundation wasproud to publish Discovering the CivilWar, a 208-page, highly illustratedexhibition catalog that offers newperspectives on America’s most defining war.
Like the National Archives Experienceexhibition of the same title, Discoveringthe Civil War delves into the extensiveCivil War holdings of the NationalArchives to tell the stories that are notoften told. Slaves, laborers, nurses,deserters, and guerrilla fighters arefeatured alongside military and politicalleaders to give readers an inclusiveperspective on the experiences of well-known and “ordinary” people.
The catalog, published by theFoundation in association with D GilesLimited, showcases landmark documentssuch as the Emancipation Proclamationalongside the less well-known unratified13th Amendment of 1861 and a draft ofthe Confederate Constitution, each ofwhich threatened to change the outcomeof the war entirely. Elsewhere, a Chinese-language message to Prince Kung askingfor the banning of Confederate shipsfrom Chinese ports demonstrates theglobal impact of the Civil War.
The book features essays from Civil Warhistorians and curators, a message fromArchivist of the United States David S.Ferriero, and a foreword by documentary
filmmaker and Foundation VicePresident Ken Burns, whose highlyacclaimed PBS series The Civil Warbrought renewed interest in that conflict.
The exhibit catalog is dedicated to a dearfriend and longtime supporter of theFoundation and of the NationalArchives, the late Budge Weidman,volunteer manager of the Civil WarConservation Corps.

Kennedy, and MoonShot: JFK and Space Exploration, eachcelebrating an anniversary exhibition at the library.

2010 was marked by challenges as well as the completion of major award-winning projects for the Foundation for the National Archives. We so appreciate all who have helped us to make so many amazing programs,projects, and educational outreach efforts possible.
For the past year, the “Discovering the Civil War” exhibition, shown in two parts in the Lawrence F. O’Brien Gallery, has delighted and educated audiences in Washington, D.C., with its presentation of the incomparable Union, Confederate, and other amazing records from the holdings of the National Archives.
In 2011, this landmark interactive exhibition is touring nationally,with the two parts of “Discovering the Civil War” coming together to invite exploration of new and diverse topics of our nation’s most defining war. The exhibition recently began its tour at theHenry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, a Detroit suburb, where record crowds waited in line for up to seven hours for a chance to see a special limited showing of the original Emancipation Proclamation. Later, the exhibition will travel to the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Texas and the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville.
Meantime, the Foundation has been working to support and promote the 2011 National Archives Experience exhibition, “What’s Cooking, Uncle Sam? The Government’s Effect on the American Diet.” This fascinating exhibition explores the government’s efforts to ensure a safe, nutritious, and plentiful food supply, and the sometimes unintended consequences ofthose efforts. The Foundation is working to support the exhibitionwith fundraising, a marketing campaign, an exhibition catalog, and exhibit-related products, programming, and special events.
We also were so proud in 2010 to work with the National Archiveseducation team on the preliminary introduction to the educationcommunity of the DocsTeach website. This revolutionary online resource puts teachers, students, and lifelong learners interested in history in virtual contact with the incredible records of the National Archives. The education team, along with hundreds of teachers, has since populated the site with additional lesson plans.
In 2011, we will continue to promote DocsTeach, to support researchers at the National Archives, and to encourage more visitors to the National Archives Experience to return to the Archives to conduct their own research and explore all that theArchives has to offer.
I hope you will join us in these efforts as well as new exciting initia-tives that encourage Americans and people from around the worldto appreciate and fully experience the records of our democracyand the role of the National Archives in preserving these recordsfor future generations.

I T I S T H E M I S S I ON of the Foundation for
the National Archives to create public awareness
of the importance of the National Archives as a
cultural resource in the American democracy –
a place where historians, seekers of justice, and
private citizens can find evidence on which truth
is based.
The Foundation was created to support the
Archivist of the United States in developing
programs, technology, projects, and materials
that will introduce and interpret the Archives’
holdings to the American people and to people
around the world. The purpose of the Foundation
is to educate, enrich, and inspire a deeper
appreciation of our country’s heritage through
the collected evidence of its history.
Within the National Archives Building in
