The National Archives and Records Administration made it easier to search online for millions of old government records – 85 million documents in 475 files compiled by more than 30 federal agencies, to be exact. The files includes photos of disasters and lists of air missions and roles of Irish who fled the famine to the U.S. in the 1800s. NARA’s revamped site is still in a test mode but it’s open at www.archives.gov/aad.
