NARA research guides

NathanEichenberger1

I'm looking for a website that has guides and/or helpful tips in how to navigate the NARA website. I did watch some YouTube videos and I found one with a guide,but I'm looking for more. And I do know that the NARA website has guides as well.

The National Archives publishes several guides to federal records on its website at https://www.archives.gov/publications/finding-aids/guides.html

I'm a bit confused. I went to the link you provided and it gives me links to genealogical books to finding records. I'm looking for instructions in how to use the NARA website as a whole.

Try these links. They will lead you to search engines where you can enter key words to locate specific record groups for documents held by NARA.
