Our location

Taylor Research Group's office is conveniently located in the heart of Washington, DC. We are a short ride by metro to many of our nation’s finest research institutions, including the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution Library and Archives, the Department of Interior Library, and the Department of Labor Library. Our researchers routinely access various federal agency repositories in the greater Washington, DC area, as well, such as NARA in College Park, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s public reading room, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark office among others. Additionally, given our proximity to a range of international airports, our researchers are able to easily travel to state and local repositories.
