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 a nation—
wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1956 to
June 50, 1937, and has been continued in Indiana since that date as a
state project of that 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 inform—
ation 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 organiz—
ation 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 re-
lated 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 pur-
pose 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 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. When it contains substantial information on ad— ,
denda sheets which has not been included in the mimeographed abstract, in-
dication of this is given by use of the reference "See addenda."

In Indiana the Work of the Survey was under the direction of Professor
William O. Lynch, with Mr. J. Harley Nichols as his assistant, from its
inception until June 1956, at which time Mr. Nichols succeeded him as di-
rector. Since June 1937, Mr. A; W} Fishback has been in charge of the
project. This Inventory of the records of the veterans' Administration
in Indiana was prepared in the Indianapolis office of the Survey and was
edited before final typing by Miss Elizabeth Edwards of the Washington of—
fice. It is reproduced in mimeographed form with the aid of the Historic—
al Records Survey.
