u°r The Inventory of the County Archives of frkansas is one of a number ~‘j
‘ 55.1 of guides to, histoﬁoETmaterialWed—tmt the United states ‘ S
.Tg by workers on Historical Records Survey projects of the HOrk Projects ‘ﬁ
1] idministration. The publication herewith presented, is an inventory of . E
j? the archives of Madison County, is number1440f the Arkansas series. pg
~**ﬁ ' The Historical Records Survey program was undertaken in the winter ‘ ‘3
f? of 1955-56 for the purpose of providing useful employment for needy un- p?
‘g employed historians, lawyers, teachers, and research and clerical work- ‘%
,’{ ers. In carrying out this objective, the project was organized to com- T?
y pile inVentories of historical materials, particularly the unpublished «\ j
‘j government documents and records which are basic in the administration 'i
a} of local government, and which provide invaluable data for students of ’ ”E
‘ 'l . political, economic, and social history. The guide herewith presented 5%
2:3 is intended to meet the requirements of day—to—day administration by the f@
.3 officials of the county, and also the needs of lawyers, businessmen, and ' 72
Q other citizens who require facts from the public records for the proper ’ ‘ Li
I; conduct of their affairs. The volume is so designed that it can be used ‘yfﬁ
.l by the historian in his research in unprinted sources in the same way he ;§
% uses the library card catalog for printed sources. - -:é
_, .ﬁ
Q3 The inventories produced by the Historical Records Survey projects 3f:
‘1 attempt to do more than give merely a list of rccords—-they attempt fur- ,f
‘7} ther to sketch in the historical background of the county or other unit 'é
1'1- W of government, and to describe precisely and in detail the organization k2
v and functions of the government agencies whose records they list. The . ﬁ
ﬂ_ / county, town, and other local inventories for the entire country will, '1?
‘;% ’ when completed, constitute an encyclopedia of local government as well ’ ’3
_,¥ as a bibliography of local archives. Up to the present time more than fig
'4. 1,800 Survey publications have been issued in the country as a whole. ﬁg
, x ,t ‘ "p:
"la The successful conclusion of the work of the Historical Records Survey |.‘ﬁ%
..¢x projects, even in a single county, would not be possible without the sup- ' -f%
L f? port of public officials, historical and legal specialists, and mrny other V ﬁg
2% groups in the community. Their cooperation is gratefully acknowledged. 3"j§
‘ l The Survey Program was organized by Luther H. Evans, who served as ﬁg
1' Director until March 1, 1940, when he was succeeded by Sargent B. Child. 35%?
v The Survey operates as a Nation-wide series of locally sponsored pro— 53;
,» jects in the Division of Community Service Programs, of which Mrs. Florence ’ Elf

‘ ,7 The Historical Records Survey was initiated in Arkansas in March ',ﬁ
i 1938 as a branch of the Federal hritcrs' Project. In November of the 93
a; sums year the Survey became an independent unit of Federal Project No. _1£
.f- l, and functioned under Federal sponsorship until" Septcnber l, 1939. f3
_'x#' On September 5, 1959, the unit became a State-wile locally sponsored } . 2%
Ci project under the supervision of Howard H. Jucowuy. Mr. Jncowny ro- %
‘1 signed on Soptermnr 5, 1940 to become State Chief of the Research and IE
' ~h3 Records Programs and was succeeded by Raymond Foster who has served on \ p}?
f: the supervisory staff of the Survey since December 19380 . 1?
_33 "The Survey is sponsored in ArkanSns by the College of Arts and Sci- ‘ ',:§
9_ ences of the University of Arkansas and co-sponsored by the county ‘ﬁé
', judges of the State. It operates under the jurisdiction of Research ‘3;
g and Records Programs of the Division of Community Service Programs of t?

R The Survey is preparing 9 volume which will include detailed dis- ‘ ’yﬁ

’ '1 material will consist of all those laws and constitutional provisions \ ,-_j§
