The National Archives and Records Administration is pleased to present our annual Genealogy Series on YouTube. This educational series of lectures will teach you how to use federal resources at the National Archives for genealogical research. Our program this year celebrates public service, with presentations on military and civilian records. You will also learn how to preserve your own family collections. Sessions are intended for beginners to experienced family historians—all are welcome!

“We always look forward to connecting with the genealogy research community through this Series and the ongoing Know Your Records program,” said Executive for Research Services Chris Naylor. “This year’s theme is an important one. Our nation relies on dedicated public servants—civilian and military, at all levels of government—to provide services, keep us safe, respond to emergencies, educate our children, and more. We are honored to hold, preserve, and share these records with the public in our research rooms and online.”
