06/19/1934 AD founded
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed legislation creating the National Archives and authorizing it to collect, care for, and make available Federal Government records.
Roosevelt chose Robert D.W. Connor as the first Archivist of the United States, and 80 staff members moved into the nearly completed building in fall 1935.
The agency’s first task was locating records—Archives staff surveyed records located in the Washington, DC-area, and Works Progress Administration (WPA) workers surveyed federal records nationwide.
