Resumo

Descrición
English: Photograph of Archibald Macleish unboxing crate holding the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution after arriving back to the Library of Congress on 1 October 1944 after having been stored at the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox since 1941
  • Caption reads as follows:
    Librarian of Congress Archibald MacLeish (center), himself takes a screwdriver to the case in which the great documents are sealed in bronze cylinders. In all, 4789 cases of documents, rare books, and incunabula (books printed before 1500) were returned to the Library of Congress from five hiding places in Virginia and Ohio.
The photograph is in a story about the return of important documents to the Library of Congress after being sent to secure locations at the outbreak of World War 2. The story mentions a "secret" hiding place which in later years was revealed to be Fort Knox. The photograph shows the case being opened as "#4", which in later years was revealed to have housed the Consitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence, which were stored at Fort Knox. See Puleo, Stephen. American Treasures (p. 180). St. Martin's Press.
