Janet, As a suggestion, you might next time, when you have the opportunity introduce Kelley as a 'researcher' for you which might keep her with the within unwritten rules (that would keep her out of trouble, while trying to make her available to us on the list) ...this introduction would add to Kelley's credibility as a researcher, telling us what she does/can do for those of us who are not so close to the National Archives. Also, Perhaps allow Kelley to tell us what other requirement that are required of her by the National Archives to go into their establishment and do her digging...I'm sure there are some other 'official' things that Kelley must be required to do to go 'into the stacks' and do research required by the National Archives...which would also lend creditability to Kelley and enlighten the rest of us what some of the proceedures that researchers, since we may never get to do this, have to perform to be able to go in and do research...all of which would make some on the list be more apt to want Kelley to work for them....I know they just don't allow anyone to go into those documents and push paper around since this is a national institution. Just a thought.

I have been in the national archives several years ago and anyone can go and see the old millitary records. You sign in and out on a certain floor where they are kept. You cannot go into the actual stacks but tell the hired help what you want and they will bring it to you. You have to handle it with gloves and are allowed to copy the originals using their copy machine.. You can only take paper and pencil in there to make notes the rest of your stuff has to be locked up in a lockor outside of the room. I looked at and copied the millitary cards of my 2nd great grandfather who served in the Mexian War. My husband got a researcher card but we never got back there again.

Go to the following link for information on research access, including cards: http://www.archives.gov/research/start/researcher-card.html This link: http://www.archives.gov/research/hire-help/ discusses hiring someone to do research at the National Archives and also discusses how to get on the list published by the Archives (Kelley might wish to do that). Hope this helps someone.
