Things I Would Like To Point Out Pt. 1

*I am writing this blog entry not as an extended blog entry but just as one thing that I noticed recently and would like to point out*
Today, I read another R.D.W. Connor work on the National Archives. I have to admit that I have been reading his works a lot lately. I admire his writing style because he had a wonderful habit of incorporating historical writing with his discussions of everything archival.
Today, I read his article “FDR Visits the National Archives” (published in 1949.) This article is typical of his style. He explained how he became the first Archivist of the United States (all thanks to some Photostats of Revolutionary War Navy records that he gave to FDR) and how FDR had been the driving force of the archival movement in the United States. I would just like to point out that a decade earlier, Connor argued that the archival movement in the United States predated FDR. Just look at how the death of a president affects historical thought. Obviously Connor could not be objective like other historians of his time period claimed to be.
