The District of Columbia Archives, formally, the Office of Public Records Management, Archival Administration, and Library of Governmental Information, is the state-level archives of the District of Columbia.[1] Its principal archival holdings reside in a converted stable in the Blagden Alley-Naylor Court Historic District and its much larger collection of retained records sit in leased space at the Washington National Records Center and in various D.C. government office buildings.

In its facilities, the D.C. Archives holds vital records on millions of individuals, many notable. The archives hold the original wills of Dolley Madison, Francis Scott Key, Frederick Douglass, Henry Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Alexander Graham Bell and Louis D. Brandeis.[2] It similarly preserves Mildred and Richard Loving's marriage certificate, Duke Ellington's birth certificate, and the Architectural registration for Chloethiel Woodard Smith.[3][4]

The state of the current records facility and operations has been described as "decrepit" and "overcrowded."[2][5]
