3 The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the products
i of the work"Br”th6“s5?s%5??ﬂfiﬁ£ﬁﬁ€ﬁ‘KEbEEVbs, which operated as a nation- .
é wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1956, w
i to June 30, 1937, and has been continued since that date as a unit of the
f Historical Records Survey, also operating as a nation~wido project of the v
i Works Progress Administration, and a group of state or local projects of ,
i that Administration and of the Work Projects Administration. _
i The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows: Series ‘
' I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey, acknowledgn '1
; ments, and general discussions of the location, condition, and content 9
t of Federal archives in the States. Succeeding series contain the detail~ f
f ed information secured by workers of the Survey, in inventory forms, a ,L
' separate series number being assigned to each of the executive dopart~
‘ 1} ments (except the Department of State) and other major units of the
, Federal Government. Within each series No. l is a general introduction . ' '
3 to the field organization and records of the governmental agency concern~ ' wg
1 ed; the succeeding numbers contain the inventory proper, separate numberS' ‘~ '
i being assigned to each state in alphabetical order. Thus, in each series,‘ ~ T
X g the inventory of Alabama is No. 2, that for Arizona No. 5, that for
f ‘ Arkansas Ho. 4, etc.
' f For each local office information regarding each series, or unit of ,l
; related records, is presented in the following order: Title, inclusive '
; date ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the information was . ‘ 5
, secured), general description of informational content, description of~ .f rﬁ
ﬁ- the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement of frequency and ‘7
’i purpose or use, form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets in ‘ 's
/ folders, etc.), linear footage, description of the containers, physical 'Lr
ii'k condition of the identifying information, and finally, the number of thO' '3
‘ 1 . Form 588A on which this information was originally recorded by a Survey §yj
‘ worker and from.whieh it was abstracted for the Inventory. This form 3‘,,
f is on file in the National Archives. When it contains substantial 3 }” ,
’ information on addenda sheets which has not been included in the mimoo- sﬂ
\ j graphed abstract, indication of this is given by use of the reference "E
; "See Addenda." . , c
J ' In North Dakota the work of the Survey was under the direction of ' Y
3 Professor.Philip J. Green, with Miss Alice L. Boyd as assistant, from ’ 1' ;,f.
a, p \ its inception until June 1957. Since that time, for editorial and ' _ ,3}
f V publication purposes, it has been a part of the Historical Records ‘ g&
Y ' Survey which is under the supervision of Betty Hall, and is a part of the ” jg
ﬂ} Public Records Project, of which Blair A. Flegal is supervisor. This . } i;
