N16. LIBRARY AND NAVAL WAR RECORDS OFFICE
[The first appointment of an officer in charge of "Library and War Records" was made June 9, 1882.
The library at that time consisted of 7,000 books of little value, a large part of the number being relics
of old ships' libraries which had been turned in as no longer serviceable. The first appropriation "for
professional books for Department Library" was carried in act approved Aug. 5, 1882. Soon after this,
the compilation of naval war records (see N16.6:) was begun in the Library, and specific appropriation
for carrying on the work was made by act approved July 7, 1884, and succeeding acts. While the clerical
force of the Library and of the Naval War Records Office are appropriated for separately, the two have
always been under one head and are practically one office under the name " Office of Library and Naval
War Records." Although the word "Naval" has been used from the first to distinguish this office from
the office in charge of army war records (see W45.), it was not regularly included in the name until
about 1890.
This office was under the Bureau of Navigation from its establishment until Oct. 21, 1889, when it was
transferred by order of the Secretary, to the Secretary's Office.]
