Uploaded July 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Coming in October 2025: The National Archives Museum is reopening after its first renovation in 20 years!

The American Story, a new permanent exhibition, will showcase the records in the National Archives that have shaped our nation.

From the Louisiana Purchase to presidential gifts (including horseshoes given to President George H.W. Bush by Queen Elizabeth II), to records of our daily lives (like the original patent for the first Barbie doll), visitors will have a chance to experience original records & artifacts.

This will be the first and only museum in Washington, D.C. to use artificial intelligence to bring each visitor a special, individualized opportunity to explore the records.

$Proceedings of the Commissioners Appointed to Negotiate a Treaty with the Six Nations, 1775 The Six Nations of the Iroquois, also known as the Haudenosaunee, was a powerful league of independent tribes in western and upstate New York. At the start of the Revolutionary War, the tribes maintained unity and neutrality, calling the conflict a “family affair” and would “take no part in the Quarrel.” The pressure of war ultimately fractured the Six Nations confederacy. The Cayuga, Mohawk, Onondaga, and Seneca tribes sided with the British, while many Oneida and Tuscaroras supported the Americans. The divided allegiances of the tribes transformed the Revolutionary War into a civil war among the Six Nations.
