Databases & Digital Collections

The online portal to the records held at the National Archives, and information about those records.

The new Catalog focuses on scalability and is a new platform prepared for the future. In the next few years, NARA will grow to 500 million digitized pages. New back-end enhancements will ensure an improved search experience. The new Catalog makes it easier and more intuitive for you to find what you are looking for, and potentially discover related content of interest.

The CGP is the search tool for print and electronic titles of the National Bibliography of U.S. Government Publications. The National Bibliography is made up of publications from across the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the U.S. Government.

The CGP is a bibliography, not a document repository. The CGP will only provide links to full-text resources that are the official, authoritative copy of an electronic resource.

Scope:

• Bibliographic information for new and historic Government Publications dating back to the late 1800s
• Over one million bibliographic records generated since July 1976.
• Over 240,000 links to official full-text electronic titles.
• Updated daily.
