Archives

Executive Branch Records Management and Legal Evidentiary Custody

Description

The Archives serves as the executive branch's institutional repository for classified materials and long-term records. It receives, catalogs, stores, and preserves surveillance files and sensitive documentation; boxes routinely bear the label 'CLASSIFIED — RETURN TO ARCHIVES.' Administrative staff enforce transfer protocols and chain-of-custody procedures. Operating under direct presidential authority, the Archives responds to legal retention orders and can convert routine logistical transfers into preserved evidentiary custody for investigators such as a special prosecutor, thereby blocking administrative concealment.
