The National Security Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research, archival, and public interest institution located within The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. It archives and publishes declassified U.S. government files concerning selected topics of American foreign policy. The Archive collects and analyzes the documents of many various government institutions obtained via the Freedom of Information Act. The Archive then selects documents to be published in the form of manuscripts and microfiche as well as made available through their website.

The Archive operates under the guidance of an advisory board made and the direction of a board of directors. The Archive's research was awarded in late 2005 by winning an Emmy Award for its work on the documentary, "Declassified: Nixon in China." More recently, the Archive uncovered a secret reclassification program operating unabated since 1999 which was an effort to reclassify many holdings related to American foreign policy during the 1940's and 1950's at the National Archives and Records Administration. The materials in question had all been unclassified during Clinton administration.

Among the Archive's more prominent institutional supporters are the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the Freedom Forum, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Congressional Quarterly, and Cox Enterprises. The Archive recieves funding from these, and other, organizations via their donations to the National Security Archive Fund, established in order to administer the Archive's finances.

The National Security Archive was founded in 1985 by a group of journalists and scholars who had obtained documentation from the U.S. government under the Freedom of Information Act and sought a centralized repository for these materials. From 1985 until 1998, the archive was funded by it's fiscal sponsor, the Fund for Peace, Inc. Currently it is funded by the National Security Archive Fund.
