 . PREFACE iii

1 The Inventorygffi;Tederal Archiy§s_jgijduzffipfps_is one of the
products of the work 6r”tfié Survey of Federal Archives, which operated

‘ as a nation—wide project of the Works Progress Administration from
January 1, 1936 to June 30, 1937 and has been continued since that

2 date as a unit of the Historical Records Survey, also operating as a

. nation-wide project of the Work Projects Administration, and a group

1 of state or local projects of that Administration.

. The plan for the organization of the inventory is as follows:

3 Series 1, consists of reports on the administration of the survey,

‘ acknowledgment and general discussions of the location, condition, and

{ content of Federal Archives in the states. Succeeding series contain v
the detailed information secured by workers of the Survey, in inventory

Z form, a separate series number being assigned to each of the executive

1 departments (except the Department of State) and other major units of

h the Federal Government. Within each series No. l is a general introduc—
tion to the field organization 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 No. 2, that for Arizona Fe. 3,
that for Arkansas 4, etc.

For each local office information regarding each series, or unit of
related records, is presented in the following order; title, exclusive
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

: purprse Ff use, form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in
folders, ctc.), linear footage, description of the containers, physical
condition of the records (not stated if satisfactory), location by room

‘ or other identifying information, and finally, the number of the Form
588A on which this information was originally recorded by a survey work-
er 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 ab-
stract, indication of this is given by the use of the reference "See
addenda."

, The work of the Survey in Western Pennsylvania was under the direction
of Mr. Louis W. H. Johnston, Regional Director from February 11, 1936
Until October 4, 1937. From that time until the unit was abolished on
April 30, 1939, Mr. John T. McMahon served as Unit Project Supervisor.
The Survey in Eastern Pennsylvania was directed by Mr. Richard Heindel,
Regional Director from February 26 until August 1936 and from August

‘ until December 31, 1936 by Mr. John P. Corry. After Dr. Corry's resig-
nation the project was reorganized with Dr. Richard B. Morris of New

Y York as Regional Director and James L. Whitehead as Assistant Regional
Director. In October 1937 Mr. James I- Whitehead was appointed Project

1 Superintendent for the State and acted in that capacity until Septem—

' ber 19, 1938 when he resigned and was succeeded by Miss Williametta
wallace. This Inventory of the Department of Labor was prepared in the

1 Philadelphia office of the Survey, while the mimeographing and publish-
ing of the volume was made under the Pennsylvania Historical Survey,
and was edited by Mr. M. P. Claussen of the office of the Director of
Research and Publications, The National Archives.

 INTRODUCTIQN

The Immigration Service and the Naturalization Service were merged
October 24, 1955, now known as the Immigration and Naturalization
Service. V

IkEIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION bERVICE DISTRICT #4 includes the
Port of Philadelphia, the State of Pennsylvania, excepting counties
McKean, Warren, Erie, Crawford and Mercer; the State of New Jersey
lying south of the counties of Monmouth, Middlesex, Somerset and
Hunterdon; that part of the State of Ohio lying south of the counties
Mahoning, Stark and wayne, and cast of the counties of Ashland, Knox,
Licking, Perry and Athens; and that part of the State of West Virginia
lying north of the counties of Jackson, Roane, Clay, Braxton, Webster
and Pocahontas, and west of the counties of Pendleton and Grant, and
the State of Delaware.

‘ The duties connected with the business of the Immigration at the
Port of Philadelphia in accordance withthe provisions of the Act of
Congress approved August 3d, 1882, were administered by_and under the
auspices of the Commissioners of the Board of public charities of the

. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania beginning November 7, 1882. Allotment
for the cost of conducting the work was made by the U. S. Treasury
Department; the Board of Public Charities of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania was responsible to and reported to the Secretary of the
Treasury; the Immigrant Service work of the country was under the

’ \\ Trearury Department. The Board of Public Charities of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, acting as Commissioners of Immigration, Port of
Philadelphia, made their final report for the year ending June 50, 1891,
when a Commissioner of Immigration and Inspectors of Immigration_was
appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under a law then passed,
the administration of the Immigration Service passed from the U. S. >
Treasury Department to the Department of Commerce and Labor and sub—
scquentley to the Department of Labor when that department was au-

' thorized as a separate department.

The office of the Port of Philadelphia was first located at 1224
Chestnut Street November 7, 1882 and remained at this address until
November 1, 1905 when it was moved to the 2d floor of S. E. c 5d and
walnut Sts., and later to 132 — 34 - 56 8. 3d Dt. The United States
Department of labor then purchased the Administration Building and
ground at Gloucester City, New Jersey and subsequently built a large
pier and detention building there, the District headquarters was moved
to Gloucester City, N. J. May 25, 1911. The Boarding and Examination
Division of the Service, having to do with the arriving and departing
vessels, remained at 152 S. 3d Dt., and was removed to quarters in the
New Custom House Building, 2d and Chestnut St., when that building was
completed.

The Immigration Service records extending to Nov. 7, 1882, are kept
at the Department of labor, Immigration and Naturalization Service
Building, Gloucester, N. J. Such records of arrivals of passengers
as were in the custody of the Collector of Customs at the New Custom
House, Philadelphia, between November 7, 1882 and December 51, 1955
have been card indexed and are now at the Custom House and will be
transferred to the Government at Gloucester, New Jersey.

I

 The Naturalization branch of the Service and its records is located
in the Post Office Building 9th and Market Sts., for the eastern sec—
tion of the District and for the Western Section of the District in the
New Post Office Building in Pittsburgh, in custody of the divisional
director serving under the District Director at Gloucester, N. J. The
records over the entire period enumerated are constantly in use for
Immigration and Naturalization purposes, Old Age Pensions, in the
various parts of the United States, Social Security, etc.
