For decades, many of the DC government’s most important documents have been kept in an old horse stable tucked away down an alley in Shaw. The records—stretching back to 1792—are of real historic significance, yet they’re stored in a space that’s too small to accommodate the ever-growing collection and is hard for both the public and researchers to navigate.
Now a longtime effort to create a proper home for the city’s records is finally paying off. Planning is in the early stages, but a new archive building will likely be constructed on the University of the District of Columbia’s Van Ness campus.
