PREFACE '

'1 The Egypntory of Federal Archives lfl.§h§ States is one of the products ,
of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated as a nation~
Wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1956 to 1
June 50, 1957 and has been continued since that date as a.unit of the His— E
torical Records Survey, also operating as a nation-wide project of the Work ‘

( Prcjects Administration, and a group of state or local projects 6f‘that (

f ‘ Adhinistration. “‘,

Z The plan for the organization of the inventory is as follows: Series 1

g consits of reports on the administration of the Survey, acknowledgments,

’ and general discussions of the location, and content of federal archives
in the states. Succeeding series contain the detailed information secured 1

3 hp 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 Government. Within each series

1 No. l is a general introduction to the field organization and records of I

‘ the governmental agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the

‘ inventory proper, separate numbers being assigned to each state in alpha- i

g betioal order. Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alabama is No. 2, 1

T that for Arizona No. 5, that for Arkansas No. 4, etc. §

. i For each local office information regarding each series, or unit of

I ' related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive dates

; ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the information was secured),

5 general description of informational content, description of the system of

I filing or indexing (if any), a statement of frequency and purpose of use,

i form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in folders,etc.), linear

é footage, description of the containers, physical condition of the records

E (not stated if satisfactory), location by room or other identifying inform—

} ' - ation, and finally, the number of the Form 588A on which this information

i was originally recorded by a Survey worker and from which it was abstracted

5 for the Inventory. This form is on file in the National Archives. When

j 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."

i The work of the Survey in Western Pennsylvania was under the direction

i of Mr. Louis W. H. Johnson, Regional Director from February 11, 1956 until

E October 5, 1957. Since that time until March 1959 Mr. John T. McMahon,

; Project Unit Supervisor directed the Survey. The Survey in Eastern Penn—

! sylvania was directed by Mr. Richard H. Heindel, Regional Director from ‘

; February 20 until August 1956 and from August until December 51, 1956 by ’

; Mr. John P. Corry. After Dr. Corry's resignation the project was reorgan— ,

i ized with Dr. Richard B. Morris of New York as Regional Director and James

E L. Whitehead as Assistant Regional Director. In October 1957, Mr. James L.

; Whitehead was appointed Project Superintendent for the State and acted in

5 that capacity until September 19, 1958 when he resigned and was succeeded

( by Miss Williametta Wallace. This Inventory of the records of The war v

( Department in Pennsylvania was prepared in the New York City and Pittsburgh :3

i offices of the Survey and was edited before final typing by Dr. Richaid \

[ . Stenberg of the Division of the War Department of the National Archives. ‘
