Supporting the Friends of DC Archives (FDCA)

The FDCA has three immediate goals:

1. Bring public attention and support for the DC Archives through activism in the District government and with the general public.
2. Support the commitment of the District Government to build a new Archives building, including advocating the funding necessary o create a world-class facility.
   
3. Spotlight the Archives' treasures, the dangers posed by current conditions, and the importance of saving the digital records of the city government

There are a number of ways to get involved supporting the DC Archives and helping the FDCA reach these goals.
