The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is currently facing a critical funding crisis, with decades of stagnant budgets hindering its ability to preserve, digitize, and provide access to the nation's federal records. While NARA performs essential functions that ensure government transparency and support diverse sectors—ranging from historical research and filmmaking to legal proceedings and veteran repatriation—only 3.75% of its textual records are currently available online. To overcome these operational backlogs and keep pace with the massive transition to digital record-keeping, advocates are calling on Congress to double NARA's funding to at least $842 million for Fiscal Year 2027. This investment is framed as a necessary step to safeguard America's history and ensure that the public can continue to hold the government accountable for the next 250 years.
