This event was hosted as a part of the Know Your Records Program, which provides
information on how to access and do research using U.S. Federal Government
records held at the National Archives and Records Administration.

Lebonick, a reference archives specialist, searches and provides access to individual


personnel records of former military and Federal Government employees.

“Part of the reason for our presentation today is that we have seen an increase in
Code Girls as a research topic and as a celebration,” Lebonick said.
