Types of records I have worked with:

• Bankruptcy records from all eras where records have been retained, from the 1870s through the 1990s. (I should note that all bankruptcy files in the National Archives holdings are stored in Kansas City.)

• Civil case files

• Criminal case files

• Patent applications

• Truman Library presidential records

• Personal papers held within the Truman Library

• Governmental forms and surveys

Notable cases that I have digitized:

The range of what's in the National Archives at Kansas City never stops surprising me. These are a few of the more remarkable things I've come across.
