Steward Brand asked what's a good way to examine the Center for
Electronic Records of the National Archives of the United States.
Although I do not work for that unit of the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) their page can be found at:

I've enjoyed the discussion so far (thanks Martin!) and am glad to see the
professional archivists joining in.

Thanks for a good pointer. What's a good way to examine what they
have so far?
