The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the products'
of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated as‘a nation-
wide project bf the Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1936 to
June 30, 1937, and has been continued in Vermont since that date as.a
state project of that Administration.

The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as'follows: Series I
consists of reports on the administratiOn of the Survey, acknowledgments,
and general discussions of the location, condition, and content of federal
archives in the states. Succeeding series contain the detailed information
secured by workers of the Survey, in inventory form, a separate series
number being assigned to each of the executive departments (except the
Department of State) and other major units of the Federal Governmento
Within each series Ho. 1 is a general introduction to the field organiza-
tion and records of the governmental'agency concerned; the succeeding
numbers contain the inventory proper, separate numbers being assigned to
each state in alphabetical order. Thus,'in each series, the inventory for
Alabama is He. 2, that for Arizona Ho. 5, that for Arkansas Ho. 4, etc.

For each local office information regarding each series, or unit of
related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive
dates ("to date" indicating an open file at'the time the information was
secured), general description of informational content, description of the
system'of filing or indexing (if any), a statement of frequency and‘purpese
of use, form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in folders, etc.),
linear footage, description of the centainers, physical condition of the
records (not stated if Satisfactory), location by room number or other
identifying information, and finally, the number of the Form 583A on which
this information was originally recorded by a Survey worker and from which
it was abstracted for the Inventory. This form is on file in The national
Archives. When it contains substantial information on addenda sheets
which has not been included in the mimeographed abstract,'indication of
this is given by use of the reference "See addenda."

In Vermont the work of the Survey was under the direction of Judge
Edward K. Gould, Regional Director for Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont,
with Mrs. Ella C. Newman as his assistant, and with Mr. Phillip Griffin
as Supervisor in Vermont from its inception until June 30, 1937. Since
then the work of the project has been under the supervision of MY. Frank
R, Moservc. This Inventory of the records of the Veterans! Administration
in Vermont was prepared in the Rutland office of the Survey and was.odited
before final typing by Miss Elizabeth Edwards of the thhington office.

REGIONAL OFFICE
Burlington Daily News Bldg.

This office was established in 1919 as a part of the Bureau of Pensions.
In 1921 it became a unit in the United States Veterans? Bureau and en
January'SO, 1925 it was made a Regional Office. By Executive Order, dated
July'21, 1930, under authorization of the Act of Congress approved July 5,‘
1930, the Veterans' Bureau was made a part of the Veterans? Administration,
which was formed by the consolidation of the Bureau of Pensions (formerly
under the Secretary of the Interior), the United States Veterans‘ Bureau,
and the national Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. On Septemner l,
1958 the Burlington Regional Office was combined with the Facility at White
River Junction. .

When the Burlington office was established in 1919 it was located in a
building at 117 St. Paul Street. From 1921 until about July 1925 it was
housed in the Header-martin Building on Bank Street, and from then until
December 1924 it was located in the.Rutland Railroad Depot. From that time
until the office was consolidated with the Facility at White River Junction
it was located in the Burlington Daily News Building. '

No records have been lost, but some, such as accounting records, are
destroyed upon authorization of Congress. Other records, usually duplicates.
are destroyed when instructions from washington are received for the dis-
posal of such papers. Reports are sent to washington twice yearly.
