In the article “Pinkerton’s Nuggets” (Metro, Feb. 20), staff writer Amy Pyle incorrectly identified the National Archives as the repository of some of the original Pinkerton National Detective Agency material. This collection, approximately 2,000 items, is in the possession of the Library of Congress.
The National Archives, which is the repository of permanently valuable documents created by the federal government, does not have any Pinkerton material in its holdings, with the exception of the wanted poster for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!
