Investigating the names, narratives, and documents of America

Our Story

Preserving the foundational narratives of America, from the shores of the Mayflower, the pioneering roots of the American frontier, and the communities shaped in the 21st century.

The Compact honors this enduring legacy through the lens of family history, celebrating a multi-generational lineage of educators, leaders, builders, and scribes.
