    HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION April 2011 FOREWORD It seems to me that the dedication of a library is in itself an act of faith. To bring together the records of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a Nation must believe in three things. It must believe in the past. It must believe in the future. It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgement in creating their own future. ...This latest addition to the archives of America is dedicated at a moment when government of the people by themselves is being attacked everywhere. It is, therefore, proof - if any proof is needed - that our confidence in the future of democracy has not diminished in this Nation and will not diminish. Franklin D. Roosevelt Remarks at the dedication of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. June 30, 1941 This is a list of holdings of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. Included are the President's personal and family papers, papers covering his public career at the state and national level, those of Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as those of many of his associates in public and private life. The Library, a gift to the American people from the President, had its beginnings in 1939 when Franklin Roosevelt turned over to the Government 16 acres of the family estate at Hyde Park.

  • The American Liberty League and the Rise of Constitutional Nationalism
    THE AMERICAN LIBERTY LEAGUE AND THE RISE OF CONSTITUTIONAL NATIONALISM Jared A. Goldstein* This Article launches a project to identify constitutional nationalism—the conviction that the nation’s fundamental values are embodied in the Constitution—as a recurring phenomenon in American public life that has profoundly affected both popular and elite understanding of the Constitution. It does so by examining the nearly lost story of the American Liberty League and its failed campaign to defeat the New Deal as an un-American and unconstitutional aberration. Like today’s Tea Party movement, the American Liberty League of the mid-1930s generated massive media coverage by vilifying the President as a radical socialist who sought to foist un- American policies of “collectivism” on an unwilling public. In 1936, the Roosevelt reelection campaign made the strategic choice to focus the campaign on the American Liberty League because it made the perfect foil for Roosevelt to present the New Deal constitutional philosophy. Neglected in the large body of scholarship on the New Deal constitutional revolution, the fight between the Liberty League and Roosevelt should be recognized as a central episode of popular constitutionalism, in which the American people were asked to choose between competing constitutional philosophies, both of which were asserted to embody the nation’s true values. The Liberty League utterly failed to topple the New Deal—in fact, it may have helped to generate a consensus in favor of the New Deal constitutional philosophy. Yet the Liberty League crystallized the rhetoric and philosophy of constitutional nationalism that has been at the core of a long line of political movements that have challenged the modern state as fundamentally contrary to American values.

    THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST GOLD Copyright May 2006 Charles Savoie “THE WORLD IS DESPERATELY SHORT OF GOLD AND WILL REMAIN SO FOR YEARS TO COME.

Elliott Roosevelt, Sr. – A Spiral Into Darkness: the Influences by Raymond E. Spinzia . Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt I (1794-1871) was the first Roosevelt to settle in what is today the Nassau County section of New York’s Long Island.1 In the 1860s he chose the Oyster Bay area as the seat of his country residence and was quickly followed by other members of the Roosevelt clan. Indeed, by the early 1900s the present-day Village of Cove Neck had become a virtual Roosevelt family compound. While other Roosevelts chose different sections of Long Island in which to reside, the only Roosevelt to build a residence in the vicinity of the Village of Hempstead was Elliott Roosevelt, Sr. (1860-1894), the son of Theodore and Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, Sr., who resided in Manhattan and at Tranquility in Oyster Bay Cove.2 Martha’s health, in the best of times, was fragile. The stress created by the Civil War took its toll on her health and, in turn perhaps, on that of her children who seemed to experience one debilitating health event Tranquility after another. With news of the each Confederate defeat, Martha, a Southern patriot, became increase- ingly despondent and obsessed with neatness and cleanliness. Reclusive, rarely leaving her Manhattan brownstone, she began taking to her bed for weeks at a time with complaints of chest pains.3 In a belated attempt to alleviate Martha’s condition, the Roosevelts began renting Tranquility in 1874.

  • Son of President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
    / FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, JR August 17, 1914 - August 17, 1988 Fifth-born child of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Franklin, Jr., was born at Campobello Island, the Roosevelt's summer home. Following family custom, he graduated from Groton and Harvard (A.B . 1937), where he distinguished himself both in scholarship and athletics. He earned an LL.B. from the University of Virginia in 1940. Franklin, Jr., formed close relationships with both of his parents; within the family he was known as "Brother" or "Brud." He chose to study law after FDR's suggestion that a· few years' practice in a law firm would be good preparation for politics, and he was the first son to hold elected political office. Following his graduation from the University of Virginia, he worked on FDR's reelection campaign throughout the summer and fall of 1940, coordinating youth activities of the Democratic National Committee as well as those of various Roosevelt college clubs. He also entered law practice in New York in 1940, but his stay was short; in March 1941 he accepted active duty with the U.S. Navy. Before he was discharged in October 1945, he rose to the rank of lieutenant commander and earned several awards, including the PllIple Heart and a Silver Star. After the war, he returned to law practice in New York, joining the firm of Poletti, Diamond, Rabin, Freidin, and Mackay in November 1945; one year later he became a partner in the firm . He also embarked on his political career after the war, serving as chairman of housing activities for the American Veterans Committee (1945-47); as national vice-chairman of Americans for Democratic Action (1947), a nonpartisan organization of noncommunist liberals; and as vice-chairman of the President's Civil Rights Commission (1949) under Truman.
