National Archives

America's Ministry of Documents, 1934-1968 by Donald R McCoy...read for my class in Archives.  I found this book to be interesting in the sense that it talked about the beginnings of our National Archives.  All of the key players, when, how much, how the collection grew, and how it was managed are all included in this book.  For someone interested in the history of our document collection, this is interesting.  As a nation, we started collecting our documents early but managing and filing so that people could look at them didn't start until the 1930s.  This book is more interesting for those in the field, but holds some interesting information about how the National Archives building in DC was built and managed.
