PREFACE
If The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the products A
“E of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated as a nation— g
', wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1936 to
;: June 30, 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 i
_, Works Progress AdministratiOn, and a group of state or local nrojects of f '
if that Administration. .
.g The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows: Series I A
E , consists of reports on the administration of the Survey, acknowledgments, :
and general discussions of the locat10n, condition, and content of federal '
K3 archives in the states. Succeeding series contain the detailed informa— ,
9 tion secured by workers of the Survey, in inventory form, a separate L A
. series number being assigned to each of the executive departments (except I
. the Department of State) and other major units of the Federal Government. A
Within each series No. l is a general introduction to the field organiza— ’
. tion and records of the governmental agency concerned; the succeeding num— ‘
bers COntain the inventory oroper, 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. u, etc. ,
;[ For each local offiCe information regarding each series, or unit of l
’ related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive 3
_ dates (”to date” indicating an open file at the time the information was ;
i'> secured), general description of informational content, description of g
," the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement of frequency and 3
- purpose of use, form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in fold— E
. ers, etc.), linear footage, description of the containers, physical ccn~
' dition of the records (not stated if satisfactory), location by rOOm num~ ‘
- her or other identifying information, and finally, the number of the Form 1
g 588A on which this information was orginally recorded by a Survey worker g
~, 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 mimeographed abstract,
‘7 indication of this is given by use of the reference ”See sddenda.” ‘ K
" In Arizona the work of the Survey was directed by Dr. H. A. Hubbard
' of the University of Arizona, with Mrs. Meryl E. dorgan as his assistant, ;
j until June 30, 1937. SinCe that date the st te project has been directed 3
g by Mrs. Morgan. This inventory of the records of the Arizona Emergency : ;
. h Relief Administration in Arizona was prepared in the Tucson end PhOenix ; ,
‘. offices of the Survey. It was edited before final typing by S. F. Riepma '?
‘“ of the Division of War Department Archives of The NatiOnal Archives. ;

ARIZONA EMERGENCY RELIEF ADMINISTRATION !

INTRODUCTION 2 v
I
At the time the Federal Emergency Relief Administration became a E
national organization there were no agencies through which it could op" E
erate in Arizona until public welffire institutions were established. In E
5 May 1933 a State Welfare Office was established to administer FERA funds i
throughout the state. To assist, Boards of Public Welfare were estab— ,
lished in each of the fourteen counties, and if the population or the i
county was large, a branch office also was organized. Such was the case ‘
in Cochise County, a mining center, which had welfare offices in both
Dishes and Douglas. These newly established agencies displaced the pri—
vate or local charitable organizations which, under the supervision of 1
County boards of superv1sors, had dispensed RFC funds to the needy. }
During the Arizona ERA'S first months of operation, it granted relief E
to 29,000 families and single persons, representing a population of over ‘
, 100,000 persons in a state whose population is but 935,573. From July 1, {
' 1933 to December 1, 1935, $17,969,000 was spent in this program, with § _
$2,168,335 of this amount originating from state and local sources. i
The transient program of this administration began operating in May
19311 and continued to December 31, 1936 with mu assuming responsibility
for this diminishing program On Dec. 10, 1935. Assistance was granted ,
to 5,181 persons during December 193M, to 260 during December 1936, with ‘ ,
' a tOtal expenditure of $2,599,000. {
The subdivisions that appear within each agency are artificial and
are used only for systematizing the records with the exception of the
' Transient Division which was a distinct Office in the FERA program. ,
The linear footage of the archives of the 16 FERA agencies is approx— 5
imately 3709.68 feet, and most of the records are dumped in basements,
, storerOOms, or unoccupied buildings and are in great danger of serious ‘
damage or even complete loss. A few records, an undetermined amount, 9
are filed with CWA and EPA records and could not very well be separated f f
' as they were continuous files. The Welfare Boards also hove custody of i V:
practically all of the CWA and the RFC archives.

The Arizona Emergency Relief Administration began functioning throu3h _
the Cochise County Board of Public Welfare in August 1933. About may E
1934 an accounting department was organized for the ALBA in Cochise
County and operated in conjunction with the ielfare Board. The latter g
ceased activity as a federal agency about December 2, 1935, when the j ,
Works Progress Administration was established in that county. fhe ac- "
counting department functioned beyond that date to and during 1936, for 1
the purpose of furnishing a few office workers for the County jelfare 3
