National Archives and Records Administration in California

A very thin NARA file on California

National Archives and Records Administration as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 57 records summing to $83,962,829.61. A National Archives and Records Administration award coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico. A College Park-coded award is MD even if a researcher later uses a California facility. Awarding agency 088 is the NARA parent. Presidential libraries and regional facilities are unpublished splits.

Fifty-seven records against $83,962,829.61 is an extreme-thin, high-mean NARA file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 57 as 57 unique archival boxes, named facilities, or unique researchers. The overlay National Archives and Records Administration in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Archives and Records Administration is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named facilities are unpublished. Do not assign $83,962,829.61 to a single California archives building or to a researcher headcount. Correlation is not causation: California did not cause $83,962,829.61 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 088 × CA only.

Not archival boxes or named facilities

$83,962,829.61 does not measure unique archival boxes, named facilities, or unique researchers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 088 and a CA place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 088 is the NARA parent. Presidential libraries and regional facilities are unpublished splits.

Do not treat 57 awards as a census of unique archival boxes, named facilities, or unique researchers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or National Archives and Records Administration matched $83,962,829.61 and 57, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona NARA joins are other pairs, not addends. Fifty-seven is not unique California researchers. The implied mean is a quotient, not a typical box-storage invoice.
