Are Library of Congress employee records available for 1905?

There is a collection of Library of Congress records held by the Manuscript Division at LC, which include a limited amount of personnel records.  A specialist in the Library's records is available to respond to inquiries submitted via the Ask-A-Librarian page at http://www.loc.gov/rr/askalib/ask-mss.html?loclr=hhub.  General information about the Manuscript Division is available at http://www.loc.gov/rr/mss/?loclr=hhub.

Hello Ms. Holley,

Another possible resource is the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO. Here is a link to more information about how you can request civilian personnel files from NPRC.

I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Dear Ms. Holley,

A record from service in 1905 would actually be an archival record. All archival civilian federal employee records are held at the National Archives in St. Louis, rather than NPRC-CPR as mentioned above. You may send your request to stl.archives@nara.gov and we will happily conduct a search for the individual's Official Personnel Folder (OPF) you are looking for. Please include as much biographic data about the individual as possible to facilitate our search. Thanks!

Best,

Cara Moore Lebonick
