Hyde Park - The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library


Seven volumes, arranged by subject and chronologically there- under. Materials are accessible upon application to the librar- ian and under supervision. Photostatic copies will be furnished at prevailing rates, and typewritten copies at a nominal fee.


84. HYDE PARK. - THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT LIBRARY. Director, Fred W. Shipman. Hours: The papers and books in the Library are not yet available for use, but the building is open to the public; and many of the pictures, models, and museum objects accumulated by President Roosevelt are on exhibit. The exhibit rooms and museum portions of the Library building are open Tuesday to Saturday inclusive from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays and holidays (including any holiday that falls on Monday) from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.


History and Purpose. - Long an ardent collector of the source materials of American history, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, as a public official, has taken a zealous interest in the preservation of the correspondence and other papers that have accumulated during his terms of public office. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library is the fulfillment of his desire to preserve for future generations the papers, books, and other historical material acquired by him during a lifetime of public service. His offer of this material to the United States for the benefit of the public, and of a site for a building to house it, was accepted; and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library was established as an agency of the United States Government by a joint resolution of Congress, ap- proved July 18, 1939, and is administered under the direction of the Archivist of the United States. The act authorizes the Archi-


vist to accept from Franklin D. Roosevelt "such collection of historical material" as he shall donate and to "acquire for the said Library from other sources, by gift, purchase, or loan, his- torical books related to and other historical material contemporary with and related to the historical material acquired from the donor." The act creates a Board of Trustees of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library who are authorized "to accept and receive gifts and bequests of personal property and to hold and administer the same as trust funds for the benefit of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. " Finally, the act pledges the faith of the United States to "provide such funds as may be necessary for the upkoop of the said Library and the administrative expenses and costs of operation thereof, including the preservation and care of historical materi- al" acquired under the act. The building occupied by the Library is a U-shaped, two-story structure, faced with fieldstone and fireproofed throughout. Its architecture is an adaptation of the Dutch colonial style found in many of the older buildings in Dutchoss County. It is located across the road from the Roosevelt family home on a 16- acre tract deeded without cost to the Government by the President from the Roosevelt Hyde Park estate. The structure was erected without

cost to the Government by a nonprofit New York corporation, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Inc., with funds donated to it for the purpose by public-spirited citizens. Ground for tho building was broken on Sept. 14, 1939, and on July 4, 1940 it was formally turned over to the Government. In addition to a number of exhibit and museum rooms, the Library has a "Dutchess County Room, " re- served for material on and study in the history of Dutchess County, a "Public Search Room, " where the papers and books in the Library will be made available, and stacks three tiers in height, the up- per one being on the level with the main second story, affording ample space for the storage of documents and other material to bo kept in this building.
