The description of a series of minutes should include a statement as o
- to the frequency of the meetings of the body (i.e., whether it met daily, T
weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, irregularly, etc.); the nature of the _ J
_ business transacted at such meetings; and whether the minutes include merely ’ J
a summary of the official acts of the body or a record of its full pro- -`_ Q
_ ceedings. The description of files containing reports should show the title · i
of the officer making the report; the officer or agency to whom it is made; "r‘;
whether it is made weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, irregularly, etc.; e·`'_ 1
vmether the file in question contains originals, duplicates, triplicates, 7
· etc.; the subject of the reports; and in addition, a sunmmry of the infor- ., -Q
mation given by each report. . _ di
The vertical lines in the two examples given on page 5 of the manual ffl 5
of procedure are merely to separate the three types of information which are Q_Y E
required and need not bo used in HR forms filled out by the field workers. Qp_ é
Particular attention should be given to the survey of file boxes, file :Qf‘{
· drawers or bundles when they are of miscellaneous content. Where there is gs f`g.-, fi
an extremely varied and miscellaneous set of file boxes, first list each .*»*
file box separately, indicating on your work sheet its title, labeling, and ,2Q {
exact contents. In case you find "also contained" records in the file box Vpj {
which you are surveying, list the title and the inclusive dates for each .#Y1Z
different type of record found in the file box. ff#gi
7. Arrangement gif Q
"Arranged chronologically" means that records are recorded in the vf°Ql
volumes or filed in the file boxes in consecutive order, according to their g§o~;
dates. It is necessary to state "Arranged chronologically by date recorded, {fil.?
or date of bond, or date filed," as the case may be. "Arranged numerically" iE;?’
means that records are recorded in the volumes or filed in the file boxes ’Q; Q
in consecutive order, according to their identification number. It is nec- lfdb,4
essary to state "Arranged numerically by case number, check number, warrant riff`}
number, or receipt number," as the case may be. "Arranged alphabetically" j¥?i'
means placing the key name or subject in alphabetical order; however, the Qfiyf
field worker must examine the record to determine whether the arrangement is egiipy
by the full name or subject, or merely by the first letter of the surname of ‘g{;.}
the principal. Example; "Administrators BondsT"-7Ne will assume that the ‘?§§Q`
records are arranged by the deceased persons' names in the following manner: egg;}
Adams, John Efgppg
Abel, Willie @$gfg
Aaron, Herman tg§{ Q
Amherst, charms    
From this example, you can readily see that the records are arranged merely €E§§"
by the first letter of the surname of the deceased person; therefore, you >§@{}
would state:r"Arranged alphabetically by the first letter of the surname of Q§f$ Q
deceased person." When the arrangement is complicated, as for instance in ;§@C»i
tax assessments, it should be described thus; "Arranged numerically by dis- -$§§§j
trict number and alphabetically thereunder by name of taxpayer;" or in docket Qiggié ·-r__
