‘ 1 The Historiccl Records Survey program was undertaken in the winter ‘_.W$
§_' of 1935-36 for the purpose of providing useful employment for the needy‘ , §
E unemployed historianso lawyers, teachers, and research and clerical ‘_2é
g ' workers” In carrying out this objective, the project was organized to _ V- jg
f compile inventories of historical materials, particularly the unpub— : -E%
1 lished government documents and records which are basic in the admin— » %fi§
;, istretion of local government, and which provide-invaluable data for ' 1],;gfi
f ‘ students of political, economic, and soci 1 history, The archival guide ',§fi
, ' herewith presented is intended tn meet the requirements of doy—to—dny a fug§§
3 ‘ administration by the officials of the county, and also the needs of “9‘fi%
{ lawyers, businessmen, and other citizens who require facts from the pub- -"7Hg
i lic records for the pripor conduct of their affairs. The volume is so V Thd§
1‘ designed that it can be used by the historian in his research in un- "g;%fi
‘ { printed sources in the same way he uses the library card catalog for . ”qfifi

1 p and functions of the government agencies whose records they list. The “ egg
é county, town, and other local inventories for the entire country will, 'Tfifi
f' when completed, constitute an encyclopedia of local government as well - 1,? fig
