The National Historical Publications and Records Commission has revised its draft of our Strategic Plan and proposed a new mission and vision statement as well as four major goals for the agency:

Mission

The National Historical Publications and Records Commission provides opportunities for the American people to discover and use records that increase understanding of our democracy, history, and culture.

Vision

Through leadership initiatives, grants, and fostering the creation of new tools and methods, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission connects the work of the National Archives to the work of the nation’s archives. The Commission acts as a bridge for innovation and creativity in advancing best archival practices, publishing historical records, and connecting citizens to their records.

GOAL: Connect the National Archives with the work of the nation’s archives.

GOAL: Expand access to the nation’s historical records.

GOAL: Engage the American people in preserving the American record.

GOAL: Enhance the capacity of small and diverse organizations with historical records collections.
