as an atlas of American history. Jameson began numerous annual publications and, with Waldo Leland, started lobbying Congress to create the National Archives, the building for which was first funded in 1926. The National Archives organization was established in 1934. In 1926 he finally published an influential short book in the works for three decades, The American Revolution Considered as a Social Movement. After losing his position at Carnegie in 1928, he became head of the Division of Manuscripts at the Library of Congress, where he made some notable acquisitions of major collections. Jameson himself explained his life's work in this way: "I struggle on making bricks without much idea of how the architects will use them, but believing that the best architect that ever was cannot get along without bricks, and therefore trying to make good ones." Honors and tributes The Library of Congress and the American Historical Association offer the J. Franklin Jameson Fellowship in American History for a semester's research in the collections of the Library of Congress for historians early in their careers. A plaque honoring Jameson's role in establishing the National Archives was added to the Archives building in Washington, DC, in 1955.
