EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Finger Printing, Records From Finger Print Bureau, Navy Department, 1912," captures a significant moment in the history of forensic science. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a collection of fingerprint records kept by the Navy Department's Finger Print Bureau in the early 1910s. Fingerprinting had already been in use for criminal identification in the United States since the late 19th century, but its application in military contexts was a relatively new development. The Navy Department's Finger Print Bureau was established in 1902 to maintain a database of fingerprints for enlisted men and officers to aid in identifying deserters and other individuals with criminal backgrounds. The photograph reveals a large, well-organized room filled with filing cabinets and shelves, each holding countless folders filled with fingerprint cards. The room is bustling with activity, as personnel carefully handle and sort through the records. The use of fingerprinting in the military not only improved the efficiency of identifying individuals but also enhanced the security of naval warfare by preventing the enlistment of undesirable elements. The photograph is a testament to the importance of forensic science in the early 20th century and the role it played in shaping the United States Navy. The image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and innovation of those who worked to ensure the safety and security of our nation.
