Title: Independent Researcher Listing Application.

Abstract: In the past, the National Archives has made use of
various lists of independent researchers who perform freelance research
for hire in the Washington, DC, area. We have sent these lists upon
request to researchers who could not travel to the metropolitan area to
conduct their own research. To better accommodate both the public and
NARA staff, the Customer Services Division (RD-DC) of the National
Archives maintains a listing of independent researchers for the public.
All interested independent researchers provide their contact
information via this form. Collecting contact and other key information
from each independent researcher and providing such information to the
public when deemed appropriate will only increase business. This form
is not a burden in any way to any independent researcher who
voluntarily submits a completed form. Inclusion on the list will not be
viewed or advertised as an endorsement by the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA). The listing is compiled and disseminated
as a service to the public.
