In charge of preserving documents of
American legal or historical importance is the National Archives and
Records Administration. The most popular items on display are
the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of
Rights, but the National Archives has plenty more to offer visitors.
Visitors can see Lincoln's telegrams to his generals, the Articles of
Confederation, a Gettysburg battlefield map, the Declaration of War on
Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor and even the canceled check from
the purchase of Alaska. View National Archives in a larger map |
