Summary
National Photo Company Collection.
The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is the federal agency responsible for the maintenance, operation, development, and preservation of the United States Capitol Complex, which includes the U.S. Capitol building, the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the House and Senate office buildings. It was established in 1855 and is one of the oldest federal agencies in the United States. The AOC is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the buildings and grounds of the Capitol Complex, as well as the preservation of the historic and artistic elements of the buildings.
During the administrations of Presidents Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, the National Photo Company supplied photographs of current news events in Washington, D.C., as a daily service to its subscribers. It also prepared sets of pictures on popular subjects and undertook special photographic assignments for local businesses and government agencies. The bulk of the images were created between 1909 and 1932. The photographic files of the National Photo Company, including an estimated 80,000 images (photographic prints and corresponding glass negatives), were acquired by the Library from its proprietor Herbert E. French in 1947.
