The majority of the records are from the 1930s, but there are documents dated as late as 1982. The records contain citizen inquires, various theories surrounding the circumstances received during the years following Hauptmann's execution, and government responses to these inquiries and theories. Prior to its transfer to the National Archives, this material was available in the FOIA reading Room of the FBI, however certain parts which had been deleted are now included in this release. Cards may be obtained from the Consultant's Office in Room 1000 at the College Park facility. Clean research room procedures apply.
Parking is available.
