We have submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval to continue to collect information through a voluntary survey of visitors to the National Archives Museum and building in Washington, DC. In order to measure whether the National Archives Museum is successfully achieving its goals, as well as to determine if we need to make any modifications, we conduct a survey of those who have visited the Museum, using the American Association of State and Local History (AASLH) customer survey.
