What is electronic transfer?

August 28, 2026

Electronic transfer allows you to download your files from a site, as opposed to having them mailed to you. You will be sent a link for the download. Click the link and download the file to a location of your choosing. Download speeds will vary based upon file size and your internet connection. A valid email address is necessary for electronic transfer. Total file transfers can be up to 5 GB. However, files of that size are typically separated into multiple, smaller files. To ensure electronic receipt of your order, please add electronic.delivery@nara.gov to your trusted senders list. In some cases, certain email applications will move your reproduction orders to your spam box. Please monitor your spam box while awaiting your order.
