Letter from Alexander Konta to Theodore Roosevelt
Alexander Konta writes of the “scantiness, unreliability and confusion of the records of the past” and modern technologies being used for commercial rather than historical value. He proposes the Modern Historic Records Association be created in an effort to combine efforts at the local, state, and national level to preserve the historic record, including the voices of men of importance. He hopes that Theodore Roosevelt might look kindly on this idea and will consider joining in the planning of such an undertaking.
