National Archives
The National Archives has custody of the Federal administrative files of most
New Deal related agencies, including:
Franklin D.
Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum
was the first of the presidential
libraries to be administered by the National
Archives and Records Administration.
The Presidential Library system formally began in 1939, when
President Franklin Roosevelt donated his personal and presidential
papers to the Federal Government. At the same time, Roosevelt
pledged part of his estate at Hyde Park to the United States,
and friends of the president formed a non-profit corporation
to raise funds for the construction of the library and museum
building. More...
