PREFACE ;
The Inventory of FedepalpArchives in the States is one of the
' products of the wOrk of the Survey of Federal Archives, which opera—
ted as a nation—wide project of the Works Progress Administration
‘ from January 1. 1936 to June 30. 1937. and has been continued since
that date as a unit of the Historical Records Survey. also operating
as a nation—wide project of the Works Progress Administration.
The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows:
Series I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey.
acknowledgments, and general discussions of the location. condition.
and content of Federal archives in the states. Succeeding series
contain the detailed information 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 records
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. 3. 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. 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,
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 Fbrm 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. When it contains substantial .
information on addedna sheets which has not been included in the
mimeographed abstract. indication of this is given by use of the
reference "See addenda." 3
In Maryland the work of the Survey was under the direction of
Mr. Van Arsdale Turner. regional director for Maryland. Delaware.
‘ and New Jersey. from its inception until June 30. 1937. From that 1
time until April 1. 1938 the project was under the direction of 1
Miss Rita Macht. Mr. Walter F. Meyer, State Director of the 1
Historical Records Survey. undertook to supervise the project from )
April until June 1938, with Mrs. Alma Powell as research assistant. g
At that time Mr. Carl N. Everstine was appointed to direct the work 3
of the project. In October 1938 it again became a unit of the 5
Historical Records Survey. _ 3

REGIONAL OFFICE 13 5
(A) Administration B1dg., Fort McHenry A
(3) Medical Bldg., Fort McHenry i
This office was established July 3, 1930. Prior to that F
date its activities had been carried on by the Bureau of War 9
Risk Insurance, 1914 - 1921, and by the U. S. Veterans' Bureau. E
1921 - 1930. The older records in this office were taken over {
from these agencies. No records have been lost or destroyed. f
Obsolete files are sent to the Supply Depot at Perry Point; f
all other papers are kept on file here. f
. The office for Maryland is paying compensation and pension E?
benefits to 4,500 World War veterans in the state. Veterans f
of the Spanish War or previous wars are not included; they are ;
paid directly from Washington. A total of more than 16.000 L
applications for compensations and pensions are on file for I
Maryland World War veterans. The office also handles the
estates of incompetent veterans, of which there are 453, and of 3
522 minor children, This work necessitates the appointment ,
of fiduciaries, guardians, or custodians and the making of
institutional awards. A large part of the office activities i
consists of medical examinations and treatments of out—patients, 3
in addition to the adjudication of claims. During the calendar f
year of 1935, 11,944 examinations of all kinds were made in the E
Baltimore office, and 18,032 treatments were given. g
