The Long-Awaited Trip to NARA For years, I've dreamed of researching at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Washington, D.C. It just hadn't worked out until about two weeks before the East Coast Genetic Genealogy Conference (ECGGC). Realizing I'd be close to D.C., I seized the opportunity. My preparations for this first NARA research trip were thorough, and they paid off! I returned home with almost 2,000 images of land and military records for my family studies. A Rocky Start at NARA Although I felt quite prepared, my first day at NARA wasn’t problem-free. I had planned to be there at opening time. However, I underestimated the unpredictability of D.C.’s subway system. As a result, I arrived almost thirty minutes later than planned. Upon arrival, I realized another issue: I’d left my driver’s license and wallet at the hotel. As is my habit when staying at a hotel, I'd replaced my license with a hotel room key in my phone’s card holder. And at NARA, a photo ID is required for proof of identity. Saved by Kindness Even if the subway issue had been resolved, returning to my hotel for my ID would take at least an hour. I was dreading this trip (and also wondering if I'd made any other mistakes). The assistant at the desk suggested I talk with her supervisor. And the supervisor kindly issued me a one-day pass reminding me I must bring my ID the following day. This gracious act not only saved my day but also required the supervisor to personally introduce me to the archivists in the research room as I didn’t have the standard NARA researcher’s card. It was a stressful (and embarrasing) way to start the day! But I was thankful for the kindness of this supervisor. Smooth Sailing Going Forward The rest of my three-day visit went smoothly. Aside from these initial challenges, I’m proud of how well I prepared for my first visit to NARA. In sharing my experience and preparation tips, I hope to assist and inspire you in planning your own research trip to
