I saw this short article in the current issue (Sept/Oct 2007) of the History Channel Magazine and thought it might be useful to someone.

In a January 2007 agreement between the National Archives and Footnote Inc., selected records from the holdings of the Archives were to be digitized and made available at http://footnote.com/nara . According to the non-exclusive agreement, the sizeable collection would be accessible to researchers and the general public on a subscription-based format from the Footnote website the first five years, thereafter available free of charge through the National Archives website.
As of May 2007, more than 8 million historical records had been digitized, including:
Papers of the Continental Congress (1774-1789),
the Matthew B. Brady Collection of Civil War Photographs,
the Southern Claims Commission,
the Name Index to Civil War and Later Pension Files,
the Revolutionary War Rolls (1775-1783),
the Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files,
the Investigation and Trial Papers Relating to the Assassination of President Lincoln,
the Investigate Case Files of the Bureau of Investigation (1908-1922),
among others. Each month an additional 2 million documents will be digitized and added to the site. Footnote estimates that more than 25 million documents will be digitized by the end of 2007.

I found a Naturalization document for one of my aunts on Footnote a month or so ago which contained a lot of information I did not already have. If you do not want to get a subscription with them you can order individual documents and pay by the document page instead. I paid $1.95 and it was money well spent.
