La déclaration d'indépendance a été transférée aux Archives nationales en 1952

Après des décennies de débat sur leur garde, la Déclaration d'indépendance et la Constitution ont été transférées de la Bibliothèque du Congrès aux Archives nationales à Washington le 13 décembre 1952. Ce transfert a mis fin à un long litige et a permis de placer les documents dans un nouveau sanctuaire conçu pour leur protection.

Les documents sont arrivés au bâtiment des Archives nationales sous haute sécurité. Un cortège blindé les a transportés le long de Constitution Avenue, avec des troupes bordant l'itinéraire. L'archiviste Wayne Grover a officiellement accepté la garde des documents à l'intérieur de la Rotonde, sous la coupole de vingt-trois mètres.
