Wherever there was room. Seriously. It was tacked to the wall of the US Patent Office for some years. By 1814 it was in sad shape and shoved in a bag with the Constitution which was placed on a cart evacuating the burning Washington, D.C.Copies were made by a process called wet pressing which damaged it more. And in 1940 someone used a piece of scoth tape to try to fix a tear ‣ didn't work too well.By 1926, enough records were stored who knows where or in such poor conditions that many were lost. The 1926 date is important because President Harding ordered the Library of Congress to take the documents until. National Archieves was begun to be constrcted. It only took five years to begin in and three more years to complete it.One final trip to Fort Knox 18 years later and the Constitution had their permanent home.There is now an Archieves II in College Park, Maryland (1994) but its running out of room with no designation for an Archieves III yet. Perhaps back to storing our duments in steamer trunks and basements.
