Harold David Langley (15 February 1925 - 29 July 2020) was an American diplomatic and naval historian who served as associate curator of naval history at the Smithsonian Institution from 1969 to 1996. As a naval historian, he was a pioneer in exploring American naval social and medical history. Langley began his professional career at the Library of Congress, Manuscripts Division, in Washington, D.C., where he served as a manuscripts assistant in 1951-52, while a graduate student. Moving to the University of Pennsylvania Libraries in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was a graduate student, he served as a manuscripts specialist, rare book collection, 1952-54. Returning to the Library of Congress, he was a manuscripts specialist, there in 1954-55. In 1955, Marywood College in Scranton, appointed him assistant professor of history. He remained there until 1957, when he received an appointment as a diplomatic historian in the U.S. Department of State. In 1964, Catholic University of America appointed him associate professor, and in 1968 promoted him to full professor in 1968.

Faissler was formerly the head of the history department at the Roland Park Country School, Miss Faissler retired in 1967 as head of the history department after teaching at the Roland Park Country School for 31 years. Many graduates said they went on to study history because of Miss Faissler. At her retirement, Miss Faissler credited teachers she had in college for her interest in history, but she refused to take full credit for her students who continued to study history. She went to Wellesley College, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees. She taught in Dallas and in Tulsa, Okla., before coming to Baltimore.

The act provided that the association should have its offices in Washington, DC, and that it should make reports regarding historical matters to the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, who should then transmit to Congress such reports as he or she saw fit.
