Abstract:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the National Archives and appointed R. D. W. Connor head archivist; leaving behind his appointment as a history professor at University of North Carolina. Connor's archival skills also landed him the position of organizing President Roosevelt's personal correspondence, which the president had collected since his senatorial seat in 1910, into what would become the Presidential Library.
