PREFACE

i The Inventorv of Federal Archives in the States is one of the

3 products of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which oper—

‘ ate-d. as a nation—wide project of the Works Progress Administration

& from January 1, 1936 to June 30, 1937. From that date until June

, 50, 1939 the Survey continued in New York City as a project of the

» Wbrks Progress Administration. Since July 1, 1959 the Survey has

, functioned as a project of the Work Projects Administration.

1 The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows:

' Series I consists of reports on the ndministr tion of the Survey, ac~
knowledgmonts, and general discussions of the location, condition and
content of federal archives in the stntes. Succeeding series contain
the detailed information secured by workers of the Survey, in inven—
tory form, a separate series number being assigned to each of the exec—
utive departments (except the Department of State) and other major
units of the Federal Government. Within each series No. l is a general

, introduction of the field organization andzecords of the governmental
agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the inventory proper,

& separate numbers being assigned to each strte in alphabetical order.

, Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alcbnmo is No. 2, that for

' Arizona No. 3, that for Arkansas No. 4, etc.

, For ench local office informotion regarding each series, or unit of
related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive
dates ("to date" indicating an opon file at the time the information
was secured), general description of informational content, descrip—
tion of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement of fre~
quency and purpose of use, form of the record itself (bound volumes,
sheets in folders, etc.), linear footage, description of the contain~
ers, physical condition of the records (not statedif‘sntisfoctory),
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

v Inventory. This form is on file in the National Archives. When it
contains substantial information on addenda shoots which has not been
, included in the mimcographed abstract, indication of this is given by
i use of the reference "See addenda."
The work of the Survey in New York State was under the direction of
Captain Fred P. Todd from its inception until June 30, 1937 when it
was placed for a short time under the supervision of the Historical
Records Survey. The Survey in New York City was under the direction
of Dr. Richard 8. Morris from January 1936 until August 1937 when he
resigned and was succeeded by his assistant, Mr. Hermann F. Robinton,
who supervised the project until May 31, 1938. From that time until
April 1939 Mr. Vincent Jacobi directed the project with Mr. Isidor
Paskoff as Project Supervisor. From April 1939 to August 1940, Mr.
Paskoff supervised the project, assisted by Mr. M. Weisshar. Since
then Mr. Charles Bolduc has directed the project, with Mr. Weisshar
Q in charge of the survey phase. This Inventory of the Veterans‘
: Administration was prepared in the New York City office of the Sur—
§ vey and was edited before final typing by Mr. M. P. Claussen of the
§ Office of Research and Publications of the National Archives.

In 1875, the Grand Army of the Republic, desirous of pro-
viding a home for disabled and needy northern soldiers of the
Civil War, procured three suitable buildings at Bath, N. Y.
Not being able to finance the program successfully, the G.A.R. ,
sought to enlist the aid of the State of New York. In res~
ponse to this plea, the State Legislature, in 1877 voted funds
for this enterprise. A year later the buildings and grounds
at Bath Were deeded to the State bv the G.A.R., with the stip-
ulation that the enterprise be called the Grand Arty of the
Republic Home for Disabled Veterans. In 1888 this name was
changed to the New York State Soldiers‘ and Sailors' Home,in~
asmuch as the Home care to be used to house other veterans
than those of the Civil War. After the World War and the re—
sultant need of facilities for hundreds of disabled veterans,
the Federal Government took over the Bath institution from
' the State of New York and placed it under the direction of
the Veterans' Bureau. This change was made in 1929. A Vear ‘
later, upon the termination of this Bureau's functions, its
successor, the Veterans' Administration, took over the man—
ageeent of this home. The home is now a regular Veterans‘
Administration Facility. The Agency of origin of the records
listed below which Were created by predecassor agencies can
be determined by the dates of the given series of records.
The general functions of this Facility are to provide
' hospitalization and a hone for disabled and needy veterans
of all wars. There have been no changes in location since
. this Facility's early establishment. New buildings are to
be created shortly, and any existing poor conditions in
keeping and storing of records will be remedied upon the
completion of this program. All papers in this agency are
considered useless 3 years after their origin and are sent
to the Washington office. About 8 feet of vouchers, 1928 -
31, have been stored at the Supplv Depot at Perry Point, Md.
