Leading up to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, the National Archives in Washington, DC is transforming its permanent exhibit galleries, education space, and theater to create a more welcoming and personalized experience for all visitors. As they journey through the galleries, visitors will discover and interact with records that have been among the most formative in our nation’s history, along with lesser-known stories.. Staring in 2018, we have helped lead the effort including procurement and management of the creative team, facilitating the concept plan, and advising on the overall process, budget, schedule and best practices.
