Archives to Remove Declaration of Independence Display
National Archives will close early on July Fourth, lowering the Declaration of Independence the Constitution and the Bill of Rights into a vault for about two years of study and restoration. The four pages of the Constitution will be fully on view upon return with new angled cases and argon-filled enclosures. A computer program will let visitors sign a copy of the Declaration, while two murals by Barry Faulkner are renovated in the rotunda.
