‘ PREFACE
. The inventory pf Federal Archives in_th§ States is one of the products
. of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated as a nation—
1 wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1956 to
1 June 50, 1957 and has been continued since that date as a unit of the His—
1 torical Records Survey, also operating as a nation—wide project of the Work
: Projects Administration, and a group of state or local projects 5f that
1 Administration. "".
; The plan for the organization of the inventory is as follows: Series 1
, consits of reports on the administration of the Survey, acknowledgments,
and general discussions of the location, 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
1 assigned to each of the executive departments (except the Department of ‘ ‘
? State) and other major units of the Federal Government. Within each series 1
5 No. l is a general introduction to the field organization and records of
1 the governmental agency concerned; the Succeeding numbers contain the
inventory proper, separate numbers being assigned to each state in alpha-
: betical order. Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alabama is No. 2,
1 that for Arizona No. 5, that for Arkansas No. 4, etc.
j For each local office information regarding each series, or unit of
1 related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive dates
1 ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the information was secured),
1 general description of informational content, description of the system of
j filing or indexing (if any), a statement of frequency and purpose of use,
1 form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in folders,etc.), linear
1 footage, description of the containers, physical condition of the records
1 (not stated if satisfactory), location by room or other identifying inform—
§ ation, and finally, the number of the Form 588A on which this information
1 was originally recorded by a Survey worker and from which it was abstracted
1 for the Inventory. This form is on file in the National Archives. When
f it contains substantial information on addenda sheets which has not been
5 included in the mimeographed abstract, indication of this is given by use
% of the reference "See addenda."
, The work of the Survey in Western Pennsylvania was under the direction
; of Mr. Louis W. H. Johnson, Regional Director from February 11, 1956 until
3 October 5, 1957. Since that time until March 1959 Mr. John T. McMahon,
1 Project Unit Supervisor directed the Survey. The Survey in Eastern Penn-
} sylvania was directed by Mr. Richard H. Heindel, Regional Director from
; February 20 until August 1956 and from August until Decamber 51, 1956 by
1 Mr. John P. Corry. After Dr. Corry's resignation the project was reorgan—
1 ized with Dr. Richard B. Morris of New York as Regional Director and James
; L. Whitehead as Assistant Regional Director. In October 1957, Mr. James L.
5 Whitehead was appointed Project Superintendent for the State and acted in
, that capacity until September 19, 1958 when he resigned and was succeeded .
1 by Miss Williametta WallaCe. This Inventory of the records of The war
1 Department in Pennsylvania was prepared in the New York City and Pittsburgh ,
' offices of the Survey and was edited before final typing by Dr. Richard ’
1 Stenberg of the Division of the War Department of the National Archives.
