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 Wbrks Progress Administration from January 1, 1936 to
‘ June so, 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
' ‘ Wbrks Progress Administration, and a group of state or local projects of
that Administration and of the Wbrk Projects 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. 1 is a general introduction to the field organization and records of the
‘ governmental agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the inventory
preper, 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 units 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
1 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 583A 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 addenda sheets which ‘
has not been included in the mimeogrephed abstract, indication of this is
given by use of the reference "See addenda."
v In Illinois the work of the Survey was under the direction of Dr. Russell
H. Anderson, with Mr. William E. Austin who resigned in April 1937 as his
‘ assistant, from its inception until June 30, 1937. The project has become a
. part of the Historical Records Survey in Illinois with Mr. Howard E. Colgan
as State Director until June 1939 when he was succeeded by Mr. Royal S. Van
3 de Wbestyne. In November 1940, Mr. Thomas R. Hall became State Director
. of the Survey. The present sponsor of the Survey is the Honorable Dwight H.
Green, Governor of Illinois. This inventory of the records of the Miscel—
laneous Agencies in Illinois was prepared in the Chicago Office of the
Illinois Historical Records Survey Project by Eugene P. Kendrick, Editor of
the Federal records section of the Archives Division, the activities of which
- are directed by Herbert R. Rifkind, State Editor. The inventory was edited
by Mr. Martin P. Claussen, Associate Editor—writer in the Office of the
Director of Research and Publications in the rum
