Library of Congress

Harry Truman appointed Luther H. Evans as librarian of Congress

1944
Washington D.C., U.S.

President Harry Truman appointed Luther H. Evans as librarian of Congress. Evans, who served until 1953, expanded the library's acquisitions, cataloging and bibliographic services as much as the fiscal-minded Congress would allow, but his primary achievement was the creation of Library of Congress Missions around the world.
