Career[edit]
'''Schellenberg had a long career with the federal government working mostly in the National Archives. In 1935, he gained his first position within the National Archives when he was appointed as Deputy Examiner. He was appointed chief of the Division of Agriculture Department Archives in 1938. He served as Director of Archival Management from 1950 to 1956.'''

'''During this time he oversaw a massive reappraisal of documents to deaccession old records and enforced a methodology more selective in the appraisal of new records. Americans were created documents at an unprecedented rate, and European archival practices did not adequately respond to the changing needs of American records management. Experiencing this issue firsthand during his work at NARA, Schellenberg's theory of the archives came from the practical need to adapt archival practices to working with the massive scale of the federal records climate.'''
