EF The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the
Q products of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated
ig as a nation—wide project of the Works Progress Administration from
l" January l, 1936 to June 30, 1957.
. The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows:
is Series I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey,
i 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,
f 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 Government. Within each series No, l
is a general introduction to the field organization and records of the
governmental agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the in-
A ventory proper, separate numbers being assigned to each state in al-
A phabetical order. Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alabama is
) No. 2, that for Arizona No. 3, that for Arkansas No. 4, etc.
p For each local office information regarding each series, or unit
A of related records, is presented in the following order: title,
Q inclusive dates (”to date" indicating an open file at the time the
information was secured), general description of informational con-
A tent, description of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a
y statement of frequency and purpose of use, form of the record itself
(bound volumes, sheets in folders, etc.), linear footage, description
of the containers, physical condition of the records (not stated if
p satisfactory), location by room number or other identifying information,
_ and finally, the number of the Form 58SA 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 Tennessee the work of the Survey was under the direction of Judge
Samuel O. Williams with Mr. Lowe Watkins, who later succeeded him as
i director, as his assistant. In May 1957, Tennessee was added to the
‘ region under the direction of Mr. Stanley C. Arthur of new Orleans, with
A Mr. John S. Luton as state supervisor. This Inventory of the records of
the Department of the Treasury in Tennessee was prepared in the
· New Orleans office of the Survey under the direction of Mrs. Norris
I Fazekas, editor-in-chief and supervisor, and was edited before final
T typing by Dr. Erik Achorn of the Washington office.
