Download or read book Guide to the Archives of the Government of the United States in Washington Classic Reprint written by Claude Halstead Van Tyne and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Archives of the Government of the United States in Washington The guide to the archives of the government at Washington was begun in January 1903, by Mr. Van Tyne and Mr. Leland, who carried the work forward for some months. In the autumn of that year the task of completing the survey of the archives and of arranging the materials for publication naturally fell to the newly organized Bureau of Historical Research. This task was not completed until the spring of 1904, most of the work being done by Mr. Leland. The character and scope of the volume were somewhat changed and developed while the data were being collected. The purpose at the outset was to gather information as to the whereabouts of important historical materials, to discover how they were preserved and arranged, and to give descriptions of them that would be of service to the historical investigator. As the work proceeded, it was apparent that there could be no hard and fast line between historical collections and ordinary administrative records, and that every branch and division of the Government must be examined with care, even if the report on its manuscript records should ultimately be passed over with scarcely more than a word in the final report. It also became clear that a short history of each bureau or division, and a succinct statement of its duties, methods of work, and mode of keeping its records, would be of service to all students interested in the mechanism of the government or in the growth of its administrative machinery, and would at the same time be the safest guide to those seeking to know where archives of a certain character are likely to be found. As a result, the work has developed into a survey of all the branches, bureaus, and divisions of the federal government in Washington, and includes more than a mere description of their records and collections. The historical data have been gathered and the references to printed authorities and the bibliography have been prepared with care and patience, and it is to be hoped that this feature will appeal to students of history and government. The book, as we have it here, purports to be only a general survey. Only where materials are of special interest historically is there any effort to give anything approaching detailed information.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pocket Guide to Washington: A Simple and Handy Stranger's Companion, at the National Capital Washington is a post-office, railroad, and steamboat town, with 148,000 inhabitants, situated upon the left bank of the Potomac river, at its junction with the Anacostia. It became the capital of the United States in the year 1800, and its site was selected by President Washington, and its plan designed by a French engineer of the Revolutionary army, with exclusive reference to its becoming the seat of government of a great and rich nation. It has no interest nor importance, considered apart from its being the national capital. The site of Washington was formerly a part of the State of Maryland, but ever since its selection for national purposes it has been included in the limits of the District of Columbia, a piece of territory set off from that State for Federal uses, and belonging and subject wholly to the Federal government. The ancient borough of Georgetown, now having a population of 12,500, is a part of the same District, and is only separated from Washington by name and by a narrow stream, called Rock Creek. The rest of the District is made up of the small villages of Brightwood, Ivy City, Mount Pleasant, Tennallytown, and Uniontown, and of agricultural lands, and has a population of nearly 18,000. The total population is 178,000, and the whole District is governed by a Board of Commissioners appointed by the President of the United States, with the consent of the Senate. The Federal government owns about one-half, in value, of the real property within the District, and pays from the national treasury one-half the cost of the local government.
