PREFACE
The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the
products of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which
operated as e nation-wide project of the Works Progress Adminis-
tration from Jnnuvry l, 1956 to June 50, 1937, and has been
continued since that dete as e unit of the Historical Records
Survey, also operating es a notion-wide project of the Works
Progress Administration, and e group of stete of local projects
of that Administration.
The plan for the organization of the Inventory is es follows:
Series I consists of reports on the vdministrotion of the Survey,
acknowledgments, and generel discussions of the locction, condi-
tion, nnd content of federol erchives in the states. Succeeding
series contain the detailed informrtion secured by workers of the
Survey, in inventory form, 0 separete series number being assigned
to each of the executive depertments (except the Depertment of
Stete) ond other mcjor units of the Federal Government. Within
each series No. l is n generel introduction to the field organi-
zation and records ef the governmental agency concerned; the
succeeding numbers contein the inventory proper, separrto numbers
being essigned to ench strte in rlphabeticcl order. Thus, in eech
series, the inventory for Alabama is No. 2, thet for Arizone No. 5,
that for Lrkonses Nc. 4, etc.
- For oooh local office informntion regfrding ecch series, or unit
or relrted records, is presented in the following order: title,
inclusive dates ("to date" indiccting an open filo rt the time the
information wes secured), generel description of informational con-
· tent, description of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a
stetement of frequency and purpose of use, form of the record
itself (bound volumes, sheets in folders, etc.), linear footegc,
description of the conteiners, physicnl condition of the records
(net steted if srtisfectory), location by room number or other
identifying informction, and finally, the number of the Form 58SA
on which this informrticn wes originally recorded by e Survey worker
end from which it wes abstrected for the Inventory. This form is
on file in The Nntionel Archives. When it contains substantial
information on eddenda sheets which hes nut been included in the
mimeogrcphed abstract, indicetion of this is given by use of the
reference "See edoend¤."
» In South Carolinr the work of the Survey wes directed by Miss
