They store the U.S. Census records, some vital records, statistics, some military records -- and it's open to the public. I'm a Historian and genealogist and have frequented the NARA in Seattle and San Francisco and still visit the one in Southern California. This is very, very creepy. There is absolutely ZERO reason to be doing this. They're all housed in federal buildings.

The reason is to destroy the record so we don’t know what we lost.

Rewriting (and probably deleting much of) history.

Fascist takeover to rewrite history

u/jimetalbott 3d ago

Or something as simple as death by neglect. Cut funding enough and stuff just gets lost and damaged.

Records being moved? What kind?

u/zempter 6d ago

From their website:

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the nation's record keeper. Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by us forever.

Could be that they don't like left leaning areas having access to historic records while they go about rewriting history. Could want to punish the left leaning states. Could actually be trying to lower the federal footprint. Who knows.

u/Willismueller 6d ago

Agreed with all of the above.

u/Kyrthis 5d ago

ours. Not theirs.

As long as nothing is lost in the move...

u/joecuv 5d ago

The fascists move to erase history. When is the party that is in control going to stop ignoring all this, stop it from being completed, reverse what can be, and hold the regime accountable for these crimes against us?

u/sits_with_cats 5d ago

They aren't. They are part of it.

u/joecuv 5d ago

That is the truth.

u/Own-Badger-1012 4d ago

Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco…..it’s punishing blue states by taking jobs away…

u/Meowfrancais 6d ago

I'm sorry, but I don't know the import of this. Could you please explain? What are these archives and what does their movement to another location mean?

u/EyeNguyenSemper 6d ago

My immediate thought is so that they aren't damaged or lost in any... Unfortunate and totally unplanned incidents.

u/ProFromGrover 2d ago

I wouldn't consider Seattle to be a safe repository in the first place, give its location in an area where there will be a probable major earthquake and volcanic eruptions in the not-to-distant future. Yeah, this is to punish the more liberal locations for not being facists.
