. PREFAEE

The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the prod-
ucts of the work of the Survey of Foderal Archives, which operated as
a nationdwide project of the Works Progress Administration from Janu-
ary 1, 1936 to June 30, 1937, and has been continued in Oregon since
that date as a state project of that Administration, and of the work
Projects Administration.

The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows: Se-
ries I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey, ac-
knowledgments, and general discussions of the location, condition, and
content of federal archives in the state. Succeeding series contain
the detailed information secured by workers of the Survey, in invento-
ry form, a separate series number being assigned to each of the execu-
tive departments (except the Department of State) and other major units
of the Federal Government. Within each series No. l is a general in-
troduction to the field organization and records of the governmental
agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the inventory proper,
separato numbers being assigned to each state in alphabetical order.
Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alabama is No. 2, that for
Arizona No. 5, that for Arkansas No. 4, etc.

‘ For each local office information regarding each series, or unit of

‘ related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive

‘ dates ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the information

» was secured), general description of informational content, descrip-

tion of the system of filing or indexing (if any). a statement of fre-
quency and purpose of use, form of the record itself (bound volumes,
sheets in folders, etc.), linear footage, description of the contain-

1 ers, physical condition of the records (not stated if satisfactory),
location by room number or other identifying information, and finally,
the number of the Form 588A 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.

In Oregon the work of the Survey was under the direction of Mr.
Jesse S. Douglas from its inception until October 15, 1936. He was
succeeded by Mr. Paul E. Hartmus who served until April 24, 1937.
Since that time the project has been under the direction of Mr. Conrad
E. Peterson. This Inventory of the records of the Department of Com-
merce in Oregon was prepared in the Portland office of the Survey and
was edited before publication by Erma F. Clark. v

special weather reports as they appear on the teletypewriter circuit.
Operation of a Portland~Salt Lake City circuit telotypewriter on which
weather data, aircraft position reports, and administrative messages
are sent and received, is another function of the airway station. The
station also stands a continuous listening watch on the national air—
craft calling frequency for calls from military and itinerant aircraft
and answers the calls on the broadcast frequency, stands a continuous
listening watch on the local airline frequency for calls, and answers
them on the broadcast frequency, takes weather observations between
12:30 p.m. and 8 p. m. daily, and maintains the communication equip-
ment, buildings and grounds.
