National Archives Central Plains Region

I visited the National Archives last week and learned something very intersting. There are two major collections at the Central Plains Region National Archives (Kansas City, Missouri):

(1) National Inmates Archives - general public are allowed to access to thiese reocrds and do geneology search for their "black sheep" family members. The archive records include "mug shots", personal correspondence, court information, etc.

(2) "Aliens" Archives - Immigrants records. I only hope that they will change the term "Aliens" to "Immigrants" - "sigh"!

The Exhibition Hall is also very impressive. It's very tiny but the display items are very impressive.
