Our Documents: A National Initiative on American History, Civics, and
Service
 Our Documents
is a national program promoting our nation's civic legacy through the
study of key documents. One hundred of America's most important, milestone
documents have been selected to encourage national reflection on the
meanings of citizenship in a democratic republic. These documents reflect
our diversity and our unity, our past and our future, and our commitment as
a nation to strive to "form a more perfect union."
Our Documents
is an initiative of
The National Archives
and Records Administration
and
National
History Day
, in cooperation with the
Corporation for National and
Community Service
and
USA Freedom Corps
.

all 100 milestone documents go to
