These three documents, known collectively as the Charters of Freeedom, have secured the the rights of the American people for more than two and a quarter centuries. In 2003, the National Archives completed a massive restoration effort that included conserving the parchment of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and re-encasing the documents in state-of-the-art containers.

Located in Monterey, California, it grants master's degrees, engineer's degrees and doctoral degrees. The school also offers research fellowship opportunities at the postdoctoral level through the National Research Council research associateship program.[3] Overview The NPS student population is mostly active-duty officers from all branches of the U.S. military, although U.S. Government civilians and members of foreign militaries can also matriculate under a variety of programs. Most of the faculty are civilians. NPS concentrate on topics traditionally associated with civilian graduate schools, focusing on their application to the navy whereas staff colleges and war colleges concentrate instead on staff functions, civil-military affairs, tactics and strategy. On November 27, 2012, Vice Admiral Daniel Oliver (retired) and provost Dr. Leonard Ferrari were relieved of duty by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus.[2][4] [5] A Navy press release cited findings from a Naval Inspector General investigation which included Oliver's misuse of standard contracting procedures to circumvent federal hiring and compensation authorities.[2] The investigation also found that both Oliver and Ferrari "inappropriately accepted gifts from an independent private foundation organized to support the school".[2] Academic structure NPS offers

    The United States Government Manual 2011 Office of the Federal Register National Archives and Records Administration GOVMAN.indb i 7/26/2011 12:55:15 PM Revised March 14, 2011 Raymond A. Mosley, Director of the Federal Register. David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States. On the cover: This edition of The United States Government Manual marks the 75th anniversary of the Federal Register and celebrates its role as the official journal of the rules and regulations, notices, and Presidential documents of the Federal government of the United States of America. The cover features the majestic stone eagle from the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, designed by noted architect John Russell Pope. Symbolic of protection, the eagle serves as a reminder of the National Archives and Records Administration’s role as guardian of this Nation’s records, and thus served as the inspiration for NARA’s new agency logo. On the back, the design incorporates text from the very first document published in the Federal Register. Before the advent of the Federal Register, American citizens had no single, authoritative source of information about their legal rights and responsibilities under Federal agency programs. Since, March 14, 1936, the Federal Register has been published, every Federal business day, to provide public notice of the regulatory activities and official documents of the Federal executive branch agencies and the President. Final rules published in the Federal Register are ultimately codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, a related publication of the Office of the Federal Register, which is part of the National Archives.
