Tlhil if J The Historical Records Survey program operates as a series of
Af; l , state—wide projects in the several states under the Research and Records
QTY ` l Section, Division of Professional and Service Projects, Work Projects

Twig The survey prosram includes an inventory of state, county, municipal
ijii ji 3Hd church archives, of Anerican irprints and of nanuscript depositories
hwég Q and collections. In keeping with its object to rake hitherto inaccessi-
wgi Q ble material available to students, the survey prosran in Florida under-
¥“§§ 17 took the nroject of translating and transcribing the archives in Florida J
