Across the United States, the National Archives maintains both research facilities and additional federal records centers (FRCs). In many cases, the research rooms of regional archives are located at the same site as the federal records center, which is inaccessible to the public. In April 2019 an unknown person set fire to an exterior wall of the archives building using a homemade incendiary device before firefighters were able to extinguish the flames.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Public–private_partnerships">Public–private partnerships</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=National_Archives_and_Records_Administration&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Public–private partnerships" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In an effort to make its holdings more widely available and more easily accessible, the National Archives began entering into public–private partnerships in 2006. A joint venture with <a href="/wiki/Google" title="Google">Google</a> will digitize and offer NARA video online. When announcing the agreement, Archivist Allen Weinstein said that this pilot program is <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote" style="font-size: 100%;">... an important step for the National Archives to achieve its goal of becoming an archive without walls. Our new strategic plan emphasizes the importance of providing access to records anytime, anywhere. This is one of many initiatives that we are launching to make our goal a reality. For the first time, the public will be able to view this collection of rare and unusual films on the Internet.<a href="#cite_note-google-59">[59]</a></blockquote> On January 10, 2007, the National Archives and Fold3.com (formerly Footnote)<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> launched a pilot project to digitize historic documents from the National Archives holdings. Allen Weinstein explained that this partnership would "allow much greater access to approximately 4.5 million pages of important documents that are currently available only in their original format or on microfilm" and "would also enhance NARA's efforts to preserve its original records."<a href="#cite_note-footnote-61">[61]</a> In July 2007, the National Archives announced it would make copies of its collection of <a href="/wiki/Universal_Newsreel" title="Universal Newsreel">Universal Newsreels</a> from 1929 to 1967 available for purchase through <a href="/wiki/CreateSpace" title="CreateSpace">CreateSpace</a>, an <a href="/wiki/Amazon_(company)" title="Amazon (company)">Amazon.com</a> subsidiary. During the announcement, Weinstein noted that the agreement would "... reap major benefits for the public-at-large and for the National Archives." Adding, "While the public can come to our College Park, Maryland, research room to view films and even copy them at no charge, this new program will make our holdings much more accessible to millions of people who cannot travel to the Washington, D.C. area." The agreement also calls for CreateSpace partnership to provide the National Archives with digital reference and preservation copies of the films as part of NARA's preservation program.<a href="#cite_note-create-62">[62]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Social_media">Social media</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=National_Archives_and_Records_Administration&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Social media" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The National Archives currently utilizes <a href="/wiki/Social_media" title="Social media">social media</a> and <a href="/wiki/Web_2.0" title="Web 2.0">Web 2.0</a> technologies in an attempt to communicate better with the public.<a href="#cite_note-social-63">[63]</a> On June 18, 2009, the National Archives announced the launching of a YouTube channel "to showcase popular archived films, inform the public about upcoming events around the country, and bring National Archives exhibits to the people."<a href="#cite_note-youtube-64">[64]</a> Also in 2009, the National Archives launched a Flickr photostream to share portions of its photographic holdings with the general public.<a href="#cite_note-flickr-65">[65]</a> A new teaching-with-documents Web site premiered in 2010 and was developed by the education team.

It also features lesson plans and tools for creating new classroom activities and lessons.
