According to the National Archives, an archive is "a place where people can go to gather firsthand facts, data, and evidence from letters, reports, notes, memos, photographs, and other primary sources."
Archives are important because they preserve the past for future generations.
"Look to the past as a means of weighing the present and the future" - US Senator Richard B. Russell (1897-1971)
