National Archives at College Park

As of 5/30/13, credit cards are accepted at the cafeteria . An author for the Archives' blog figured that this development is about as pivotal as FDR's signing and creating of the NARA itself.

The National Archives at College Park (also known as Archives II) is home to our cartographic and architectural holdings, as well as the JFK assassination records collection. Read more

Cafeteria accepts credit/debit cards. If you are a foreign researcher , do not forget to circle your surname on the request form. Otherwise, you'll wait for your request, which was already pulled.

Don't interrupt your research by leaving the Archives! Grab a bite to eat between 7 am and 2 pm weekdays, but be sure to bring your cash (no credit cards).

Get the cafe verona from the cafe .. YUM!! But I hope you have cash .. they don't accept credit!! (why would they.. )

Always get here by 8 to get a parking space and go through security. That way you can register before the crowds arrive.

The cafeteria accepts credit cards now. The deli does not, though.

The oatmeal is best first thing in the morning, and a colleague says the biscuits are great. But bring cash, because credit isn't accepted in the cafeteria .

Be sure to interact with all the staff .. they're really friendly , and know what they're talking about .. NOT!!!!

Try the Starbucks coffee .

Try the biscuits in the morning, but get there before 9 am.

Saturday is a good time to do research if you already have records pulled.

Free shuttle service between archives 1 and archives 2!

Try the wild mushroom bisque. Delicious!

Shuttle between Archives 1 and Archives 2 is FREE!

Not customer service oriented, but then again, they don't have to be, because nobody else has the records you need.

If you need the computer, turn it on 20 minutes before your meeting. No lie.

Cheese burger and fries for 5 bucks, everything else is boderline ripoff

One box, one folder and gloves at all times.

Today's entree is curried chicken . Not bad !

Bring cash for the cafeteria .

Cash only .

Cash only :)

Don't try to take the mayorship. Don't even think about it.

Researchers should remember set pull times.

Over priced and under good.
