The Quentinian National Archives (officially the Quentinian Office of the National Archives) is a building located in the Mechanicsburg, GA, in the United States of Quentin, which is run by the federal government of the nation, specifically the National Institute of Public Academics (NIPA). The National Archives serves as the home of thousands of documents from across the history of the United States of Quentin, but mainly official documents that pertain to the federal government, such as bills, codes, mandates, decrees, or personal works by politicians.

The National Archives were founded in 1949, seven years after the creation of its parent organization, the NIPA. The NIPA established the National Archives as the first of its three large projects, the others being the Federal Library of the United States of Quentin and the Federal University of Mechanicsburg. The original [[First National Archives Building|National Archives building] was opened on January 1st, 1973, however after 30 years of materials collection, the Archives building was rebuilt in 2013, and today is the largest hub of political documents in the world. These include the Quentinian Declaration of Independence, the United States of Quentin Constitution, including every amendment, the Quentinian Code of Laws, and even the Logan Charter of Secession, among thousands of others.

History

The groundwork for the Quentinian National Archives was first laid with President Ali Shamji in 1942. Shamji created the National Institute of Public Academics (NIPA) to create new and regulate existing libraries and federal institutions of learning, and the Institute became a federal bureau within the Department of Education, with its first funding in 1944. Soon after, the Institute realized the need for a storage space of all government materials, which could so easily be lost in a disaster, or simply misplaced, as before this time documents like the Constitution had been kept hanging in the halls of Congress.

So, in 1947 the NIPA used its new funding to establish the Quentinian National Archives as a federal office operating underneath the NIPA, the Archives' official name being the Quentinian Office of National Archives. The National Archives took nearly 30 years after this to collect or buy thousands of political materials from across the country. The most infamous of these collections was in 1950, one of the first the National Archives operated, aiming to secure the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and its amendments, and the Quentinian Federal Legal Guide. That year, representatives visited Congress, hoping to obtain the Constitution, however the mostly Mild RePublican Congress refused to give up the document. The National Archives then attempted to buy the document, however the request was denied several times over. Finally, the Supreme Council had to issue a decree ordering the Congress to accept a buyout, which they did.

In 1970, the federal government finally began construction on the National Archives building, located in Mechanicsburg, the nation's capital. The building was located at 845 Capitol Street, the same street as the capitol building and the Logan Statue, just across from Cupboard Place. In 1973 the construction was finished, and the first building, called the First National Archives Building, was opened to the public. By 1990, the National Archives had uploaded all documents to a computer database, the first federal institution in the nation to do so. In 2000, the institution opened a new exhibit of thousands of personal documents from politicians, allowing citizens views into the personal beliefs and ideas of historical figures.

By 2011, the First Archives Building was run down, and with the expansion of computer databases and equipment, was not operating properly. So construction was begun on a new building, at the same location, but with much more space and technological functionality. The building was designed to look almost identical to the new one, and in 2013 the Second National Archives Building was opened.
