Records documenting the service of Allen Grover as Associate Director of the federal Office of Facts and Figures (OFF) in 1941-1942. The records consist of memoranda, minutes, public opinion surveys, and reports created by the OFF, which was established in October 1941 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) in order to disseminate information to the American public regarding the war effort.

The records notably document the U.S. Government's policy during World War II on information dissemination, propaganda, public opinion, and the concerns for the "post-war world order."
