The Inventogy of Federal Archives in the 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, 1936 to June 30,
1957, and has been continued since that date as a unit of the Historical Rec-
, ords Survey, also operating as a nation-wide project of the Wbrks Progress
Administration, and.a group of state or local projects of that Administration,
The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows: j
Series I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey, acknowledge
ments, and general discussions of the location, condition, and content of
federal archives in the states. Succeeding series contain the detailed in-
formation secured by 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 No. l is a general introduction to the field organization and rec-
ords 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 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 5
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 purpose of use, form
of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in folders, etC.), linear footage,
7 description of the containers, 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 origin—
ally recorded by a Survey worker and from which it was abstracted for the in-'
ventory. This form is on file in The National Archives. When it contains
substantial infonnation on addenda sheets which has not been included in the
mimeographed abstract,indication of this is given by use of the reference
"See addenda."
In Missouri the work of the Survey has been under the direction of Ralph P.
Bieber, Associate Professor of History, thhington University, St. Louis.
This inventory of the records of the Veterans' Administration in Missouri was
prepared in the St. Louis office of the Survey, with Mr. C. E. Bolin as chief
; editor, and was edited before final typing by Mr. Sears F. Riepma of the Diviq
sion of war Department Archives of The National Archives. It is reproduCed in
mimeographed form through the facilities of the Historical Records Survey.

Construction of this Facility (No. 99) began in 1922, but sctuel cere of
veterens was not started until 1924. It serves the western port of Missouri,
and its activities are confined mainly to the hospitalization of veterans and
treatment of those able to come to the clinic. An undetermined amount of
_ _ records ere missing. These include X-Rey records for 1924—1929. Useless
' papers end obsolete records ere destroyed upon proper authority. Upon the
deeth of a veteran all records of his case, with the exception of briefs, are
sent to Washington. Other records ore sent as requested. For the purpose of
this inventory the records have been grouped into two sections: (1) Adminis~
trative and Finenciel, end (2) Functionel Activities. Under these headings
‘ they have been errenged in chronological order. Neny of the records overlap
‘ . end could correctly be pleced in either group; therefore, all entries should

‘ be consulted if the records sought are not found in the seemingly logical
section.
