America 250
July 4, 2026, is our nation’s 250th anniversary.
As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America in 2026, America’s 100 Docs, an initiative of the National Archives Foundation in partnership with More Perfect, invites the American public to vote on 100 notable documents from the holdings of the National Archives—the nation’s official record keeper.
America’s 100 Docs is more than just a voting game—it’s an invitation to rediscover the past and encourage the nation to look toward the future.
