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 Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1936 to June 30,
1937, and has been continued since that date as a unit of the Historical Rec-
ords Survey, also operating as a nation—wide project of that Administration
and of the Work Projects Administration and a group of state or local projects
of that 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. l is
a general introduction to the field organization and records of the govern—
mental 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. 3,
that for Arkansas No. u, 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), gen—
eral 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, des—
cription 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 588A on which this information was originally
recorded by a Survey worker and from which it was abstracted for the Inven-
tory. This form is on file in the National Archives. When it contains sub-
stantial information on addenda sheets which has not been included in the
mimeographed abstract, indication of this is given by use of the reference
"See addenda."

In Ohio the work of the Survey was under the direction of Dr. William D.
Overman with Mr. William M. Verross as his assistant until February 15, 1937.
At that time Mr. Verross became Director and served until February 1938. The
project has since been under the technical direction of the Historical Records
Survey with Mr. William H. Dorn as supervising clerk. This Inventory of the
records of the Department of the Interior was prepared in the Columbus office
of the Survey and was edited before final typing by Mr. Kenneth Munden, Junior
Archives Assistant, Division of Interior Department Archives of the National
Archives. It is reproduced in mimeographed form through the facilities of the
Historical Records Survey.
