A Federal Records Center (FRC) is a facility operated by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in the United States. Its primary purpose is to store and manage federal records that are not actively used but must be retained for legal, historical, or administrative reasons. These centers help agencies efficiently manage their records and ensure compliance with federal regulations. FRCs provide services such as records retrieval, preservation, and destruction when records are no longer needed. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of government documentation, supporting transparency, and facilitating access to information for researchers and the public.
