[edit] Directions to the archive

The Marine Corps Archive is located on-base at Quantico Marine Corps Base. Take Exit 150 off of I-95 to access the Quantico Main Gate. Go straight down the road to the main gate, and stay in the right lane after you pass through the stoplight. As a visitor, you will need to show your driver's license; they may also ask to see your auto registration and insurance card.

Once admitted to the base, follow the road as it winds through the base itself, and take a left at the second light. Go under the railroad tracks and turn right on to Broadway. The Alfred Gray Research Center is the building on the left; park across the street from it on your right.
