The National Archives is more than a reference library—it's where you'll find the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. Sure, it's an old buliding. But it has a lot of new stuff. In the newly renovated rotunda, visitors can see all four pages of the Constitution in one visit for the first time in history. A new exhibit area includes a theater that, during the day, continually runs dramatic films illustrating the relationship between records and democracy in the lives of real people, and at night, serves as a premier documentary film venue for the city. A special exhibition gallery showcases exhibits of timely topics and sends the exhibits on to other museums.
Anyone is welcome to use the National Archives center for genealogical research If you're interested, visit the building, entering on Pennsylvania Avenue, and head to the fourth floor. That's where staff members can advise you about the perusal process.
The National Archives limits the number of people admitted at one time, so plan to wait in line. The best time to see this exhibit is during the week or just before closing on the weekend.
