PREFACE
The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the prod-
ucts of-the work of he urvey of Federal Archives, which operated as a
nation-wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January 1,
1956 to June 50, 1957, and has been continued in Mississippi since that
A date as a state project of that Administration and of the Work Projects
Administration.
The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows:
Series I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey, ac-
knowledgments, 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 introduc-
tion 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. 5,
that for Arkansas No. L, 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
Form 58SA on which this infor ation 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 informa-
tion on addenda sheets which has not been included in the mimeographed
V abstract, indication of this is given by use of the reference "See
addenda."
ln Mississippi the work of the Survey was under the direction of
Mr. Stanley C. Arthur, regional director for Mississippi, Arkansas, '
Louisiana, and Tennessee, with Mr. George E. Schilling as state super-
visor, until June 50, 1957. From that time until April 1959 Mr. Schill-
ing was in charge of the state project. This Inventory of the records of
the Department of Labor in Mississippi was prepared in the New Orleans
office of the Survey under the direction of Mrs. Norris Fazekas, editor-
in-chief and assistant state supervisor, and was edited before final
typing by Mr. William B. Rapley of the Division of Labor Department
Archives of The National Archives.

T§E_INNICRéTION.AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE
· INTRODUCTION
Prior to 1882 the administration of immigration matters was handled
by the several states. An act to regulate immigration was passed on
August 5, 1882, charging the Secretary of the Treasury with the execution
of its provisions. This was done in cooperation with the several states
through contracts executed between the Department and the Boards of State
Emigration Commissioners. These contracts were abrogated pursuant to
the act of March 5, 1891 which instituted an Office of Immigration in
the Treasury Department with a Superintendent of Immigration at its head.
The Superintendent's title was changed to that of Commissioner—General
of Immigration and the Office of Immigration became a Bureau in the
Treasury Department by the act of Narch 2, 1895. On February lh, 1905
the Bureau of Immigration was transferred from the Treasury Department
to the newly formed Department of Commerce and Labor. On June 29, 1906
a Division of Naturalization was created and the title Bureau of Immi-
gration and Naturalization was assumed. In the field work of the Di-
vision of Naturalization, the Department of Commerce and Labor worked
in cooperation with the Department of Justice until July 1, 1909 when
the functions performed by that Department were transferred to the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor. On March h, 1915 separate Bureaus of
Immigration and Naturalization were established in the newly formed De-
partment of labor. On June 10, 1955 the two Bureaus were consolidated
and became the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
The functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service consist
of the examination of immigrants and travelers, including ships* crews,
entering the United States by sea, land, or air; the enforcement of all
laws relating to the admission of aliens, including the administration
of the Chinese exclusion laws; the enforcement of the various deporta-
tion statutes covering the arrest, prosecution, and expulsion of such
aliens as have entered illegally, or whose misconduct, criminal, im-
moral, or subversive, has rendered them liable to deportation; and the
administration of the naturalization law by assisting Federal and cer-
tain State courts and officials in determining the merit of those seek-
ing United States citizenship.
