The American National Archives is a governmental federal agency for custody and preservation of American Government documents, a function shared by every Historical Archive in the world. However, in the USA context, due to the democratic commitments speech on which the United States are grounded, access, discovery, use and learning of the cultural heritage preserved on the documents guarded by theinstitution need to be ensured. Thus, according to the institutional web page, the National Archives exists to “support democracy, promote civic education and facilitate historical understanding of our national experience”. Apart from keeping historical documents, ideological reasons clearly emerge from the quotes selected in the text disposed in the Web site that can justify the intentions of favoring access, learning and preserving not only the collections, but the immaterial heritage there contained.
