La Declaración de Independencia fue trasladada a los Archivos Nacionales en 1952

Tras décadas de debate sobre su custodia, la Declaración de Independencia y la Constitución fueron trasladadas de la Biblioteca del Congreso a los Archivos Nacionales en Washington el 13 de diciembre de 1952. El traslado puso fin a una larga disputa y situó los documentos en un nuevo recinto diseñado para su protección.

Los documentos llegaron al edificio de los Archivos Nacionales bajo estrictas medidas de seguridad. Una procesión blindada los transportó por la Avenida de la Constitución, con tropas custodiando el recorrido. El archivero Wayne Grover aceptó formalmente la custodia en el interior de la Rotonda, bajo la cúpula de veintitrés metros de altura.
