Excerpt from The Care of Records in a National Emergency, 1941 Before the outset of the present war, most European nations had made preparations for the removal and storage of their most valuable records. In the spring of 1939 many records of the French Foreign Office had been removed from Paris to a safer location and plans were under way for the evacuation of many of the documents in the British Public Record O ee. In Budapest, areas within the Hungarian Royal State Archives building set aside for the preservation of val uahle medieval documents were protected by sandbags banked in the passages and against the windows. The sandbags were put in place during the crisis of September 1938 and were still in place in March 1939. It is noteworthy that in these cases precautions were taken in advance of actual military danger. Lack of advance planning, on the other hand, has sometimes been responsible for the unnecessary destruction of valuable records in Europe. Collections have been weeded out indiscriminately or sent intact to the paper mill. Others have been sent to unsafe or poorly improvised storage places.
