Summary

Plans are made for the better arrangement and preservation of the archives of the United States National Museum. A room in the northwest pavilion is set aside as an "archive-room." All the papers illustrating the history of the Museum will be concentrated in this room. Duplicate printed labels, samples of apparatus, and other materials used in the Museum will be kept in adjoining rooms.
