 The copy retained by the First Congress has been on display (along with the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence) in the "Rotunda for the Charters of Freedom" room at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. since December 13, 1952.After fifty years on display, signs of deterioration in the casing were noted, while the documents themselves appeared to be well preserved.Accordingly, the casing was updated and the Rotunda rededicated on September 17, 2003.
