Updates in the National Archives Database
National Archives Catalog Updates for July 2025
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has recently updated the National Archives Catalog, providing a wealth of new digital records for researchers and enthusiasts alike. Here's a rundown of the latest additions.
July 2025 Import
The July update includes a variety of new descriptions, digital items, and groups of scanned descriptions. Some highlights from this month's import are "The National Anthem, 1929-1930" (National Archives Identifier 519780328), "WHPO-P11127" (National Archives Identifier 502920045), and "President Clinton's Remarks on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and an Exchange With Reporters in Kansas City, Missouri" (National Archives Identifier 523731143).
Pension Files
A notable import event in July was the "Stories from the Pension Files" mission, which contains several digital records described briefly with URLs for each. However, this mission lacks numeric import data or rankings.
Previous Updates
For those interested, the updates for April, March, February, and January 2025 are also available. Each import entry within the downloadable spreadsheets for recent catalog imports provides a broad summary of the import package.
Selection Process
The selection is based on the number of digital objects imported this month for each office. However, the selection does not specify which offices have updates and which do not. Some offices may not have any imports for this month.
Import Sources
The records come from various sources, such as digitization projects, partnerships, and contributions from staff, researchers, and volunteers. The search results do not directly provide a list of the top five descriptions with the highest number of digital objects imported into the National Archives Catalog for July 2025.
Understanding Relationships
Users can learn about the relationships between archival descriptions and their creators in the National Archives Catalog Data Model. For those seeking more detailed information, direct access to the National Archives Catalog's import or acquisition metrics dashboard or internal reports may be necessary.
Accessing the Spreadsheets
A complete list of imports is available in the downloadable spreadsheets. Monthly reports for July 2025 metrics are produced by the National Archives and Records Administration, but the publicly accessible summary here does not list descriptions or import counts.
In summary, the "Stories from the Pension Files" appear as a notable import event in July 2025 but lack numeric import data or rankings. No other direct source in the search results provides a ranked list or import numbers for digital objects by description in July 2025. Therefore, the top five descriptions with the highest number of digital objects imported into the National Archives Catalog in July 2025 are not identified in the available search results.
The latest update on the National Archives Catalog in July 2025 includes various resources, such as the "Stories from the Pension Files," which falls under the category of education-and-self-development. Meanwhile, general news enthusiasts might find interest in descriptions like "The National Anthem, 1929-1930," "WHPO-P11127," and "President Clinton's Remarks on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty," all newly added to the Catalog as well.
