Roosevelt attends Argentia conference
The register records Franklin D. Roosevelt visiting Argentia, Newfoundland, during August 9–12, 1941, attending a conference with Prime Minister Churchill and announcing the Atlantic Charter.
What this does and does not establish
Office of the Historian travel register, trip 2708; the table and XML agree. The country field says United Kingdom, but the destination is Newfoundland in the Americas. The remarks give no separate announcement date.
- Region
- Americas
- Theme
- Politics and institutions
- Kind of record
- Placed in a year. A source places this in one year. It is listed under that year; no day precision is invented.
How it is dated
- Date reference
- 1941-08-09 to 1941-08-12
- How we use it
- Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.
The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.
Dating notes from the research record
Read tripvisits03.txt row 4 and travel-roosevelt-franklin-d.xml lines 399–417, alongside the preceding entry. XML visit dates 1941-08-09 and 1941-08-12 both map to civil AD 1941. The register's 2010 creation and modification dates are metadata. Original quotation begins at line 4, character 628.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
Sources and quoted text
Line and character numbers under “Location” refer to the project’s retained copy of the source. For database rows, “Edition” names the batch of rows that was fetched together.
