i The Inventory 3£ the County Archives Egrfrkansas is one of a number, , fig
{4 . of guides to historical materials prepared throughout the United states »gg

' the archives of Saline County, is number 62 of the eransas series. , 1'?g

r The Historical Records Survey program was.undertaken in the winter e:?£
i of 1955—56 for the purpose of providing useful employment for needy un~ \‘ g<3
f employed historians, lawyers, teachers, and research and clerical work— ‘ C r g;
i ers. In carrying out this objective, the project was organized to com- ' v 3$fifi
l' pile inventories of historical materials, particularly the unpublished \ "g
’ government documents and records which are basic in the administration ' '5?
of local government, and which provide invaluable data for students of V ‘fié
‘ political, economic, and social history. The guide herewith pros nted ' gfg
f is intended to meet the requirements of doyuto—day administration by the 55%
i officials of the county, and also the needs or lawyers, businessmen, and ilffifi
,1. other citizens who require facts from the public records for the proper ' ’.~§%
g conduct of their affairs. The volume is so designed that it can be used fiéfifi
' by the historian in his research in unprinted sources in the same way he “,ffig
f,’ uses the library card catalog for printed sources. affifié
{w The inventories produced by the Historical Records Survey projects ,_ ~;§§
' l‘ ‘ attempt to do more than give merely a list of records-ethey attempt fur- \' "€fi%
{‘ ther to sketch in the historical background of the county or other unit . fig?
{, ’ of government, and to describe precisely and in detail the orgrnizntion “ r gig
é ‘ and functions of the government agencies whose records they list.’ The ‘ .fi1f%
;‘ county, town, and other local inventories for the entire country will, . ;‘xvgg
‘ ‘ when completed, constitute an encyclopedia of local government as well ,’1ifl§§
1 as a bibliography of local archives. Up to the present time more than ‘ fljfffig
ifi", 1,800 Survey publications have been issued in the country as a whole, , - ff fig
N_,. The successful conclusion of the work of the Historical Records/Survey - V‘Jfgfi
\‘ projects, even iqva single county, would not be possible without the sup~ ’V :figxfif
5‘ i 1 port of public officials, historical and legal specialists, and mrny otherv or Jfijéfi
{5‘ . groups in the community. Their cooperation is gratefully acknowledged, L x _5%%§
. i v v The Survey Program was organized by Luther H. Evans, who served as yilfifi%%
tfi_i- Director until March 1, 1940, when he wns succeeded by Sargent B. Child. y',gfif%
f n' The Survey operates as a Nation—wide series of locally'sponsored pro- fjfi;§%§
