Here is a closer look at one site. The National Archives ( https://www.archives.gov/research/topics ) is a national registry that “is a work in progress and currently contains descriptions for 95% of our records.” This website includes ancestry records, veteran records, research tools and many more American historical documents. After reviewing their website, I discovered that there is a museum in Washington, DC, that is open to the public by appointment. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are housed there. The website is user friendly with a lot of information and clear hyperlinks to guide you. The guide for using the national archives catalog says “The Catalog also allows users to contribute to digitized historical records through tagging and transcription.” Having a catalog account is not required to use or search the catalog, however, to contribute as a citizen archivist you must be a catalog account holder.
