The United States Marine Corps was officially established by the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775. After the Revolutionary War, the Marines were disbanded but re-established by John Adams in 1789, creating the modern United States Marine Corps.

In the National Archives, researchers can find records on the United States Marine Corps ranging from the capture of the shores of Tripoli to the doctrine of modern amphibious and combined arms operations. In facilities across the country, the National Archives preserves and makes available the permanent records of the offices of the United States Marine Corps.

On June 22, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed an Executive Order approving the design of an official seal for the United States Marine Corps. The current emblem traces its roots to the designs and ornaments of early Continental Marines as well as British Royal Marines. Approved insignia designs and seals are held in trust by the National Archives in the Military holdings.
