NARA Goes Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the easily-browsable-pasts dept.

TeachingMachines writes "NARA, the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, has gone online. NARA's self-described mission is 'to ensure ready access to the essential evidence that documents the rights of American citizens, the actions of Federal officials, and the national experience.' A very relevant site for the times, with transcripts and images of the most politically important documents of the United States. Included are the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. Check out the list of available documents. The site is pretty large, with some incredible exhibits, and even an image of the original Magna Carta. Definitely worth a look."

    But I think this shows that certain parts of the US government isn't all bad. Sure, there are some rotten apples, and quite a few of them are leading these 4 years (*coughAshcroftcough*), but at least the ENTIRE beaucracy isn't totally corrupt as to believe the US Constitution is moot. Which you might believe if you read all the latest comments on Slashdot.

    Maybe this just shows that an entire beauracracy cannot become totally evil, or totally good.

    But that's just me rambling, I guess.
