Answer in 1000 words
Answers
Answer:
The National Archives holds historical documents of the U.S. Government (federal, congressional, and presidential records) on behalf of the American public so that citizens, public servants, Congress, and the Courts can obtain the information they need to exercise their rights and responsibilities. Citizens use National Archives documents to hold the U.S. government—including the President, the courts, and other Federal employees—accountable for their actions.
The historical U.S. Government documents that are most likely to be stolen are those that would be marketable to manuscript collectors and dealers, particularly items with the names, images, and signatures of notable individuals or a relationship to a notable event (e.g., a war, disaster, or celebration). Illegal attempts may be made to sell such documents over the Internet or through private auctions or catalog sales.
Removing historical U.S. government documents from public custody at the National Archives hurts all of us and is an illegal theft, prosecutable by law.
