Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government, only 2%-5% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by us forever. In a democracy, records belong to the people, and for more than seven decades, NARA has preserved and provided access to the records of the United States of America. The holdings of the Cartographic and Architectural Section in College Park, Maryland, include over 15 million maps, chars, aerial photographs, architectural drawings, patents, and ships plans, constituting one of the world's largest accumulations of such documents. These holdings are arranged in 190 record groups, which reflect the origins of the records in specific federal departments and agencies.
