Introduction
NARA's Central Plains Region in Kansas City provides storage for inactive records created or received by Federal agencies in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. It is the first stop for records after they leave the physical custody of the agency of origin. Agency records stay in the center, where they are tracked through an automated database, until they are either destroyed through recycling or accepted by NARA as permanent records. All Federal agency records management and interaction with the center is governed by the Code of Federal Regulations as it relates to records management. Access to all records stored at the facility is controlled by the agency of origin.
Appraisal
NARA works closely with Federal agencies to preserve and make available for research the historically significant, permanently valuable records. Federal agencies wishing assistance in appraising unscheduled records of permanent value, or in improving records management systems in order to preserve permanently valuable information, should contact Mark Corriston by e-mail or telephone at 816-268-8025.
Storage Service
NARA RCP provides storage in a safe and secure environment that meets the requirements of 36 CFR 1228 for all types of records. Records centers are authorized to store those records of a Federal agency that are properly covered by a NARA-approved records disposition schedule or the General Records Schedule (GRS). Agency offices may choose to transmit the SF 135 (and box listings) electronically using email. You may obtain an electronic version of the SF 135 by visiting the records center program's forms web site.
Reference Service
The facility provides reference service with a turnaround time of 24 hours to Federal agencies. Agency reference requests can be processed by mail or electronically through the Archives and Records Centers Information System (ARCIS). Agencies can also make reference requests by mail. More information is available from kansascity.reference@nara.gov by e-mail or telephone at 816-268-8000.
