EREEACE
The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the
products of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which oper-
ated as a nation—wide project of the Works Progress Administration
from January 1, 1936 to June Z0, 1937.
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, condi-
tion, an  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 introduction to the field organiza·,
tion and records of the governmental agency concerned; the succeed-
ing numbers contain the inventory proper, separate numbers being
assigned to each state in alphabetical order. Thus, in each series,
the inventory for Alabam  is No. 2, that for Arizona Nc. 5, that for
Arkansas No. 4, etc.
,F0r each local office information regarding each series, or unit
of related records, is presented in the following order: title, in-
clusive dates ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the in-
formation was secured), general description of inform tienal content,
\ description of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement
of frequency and purpose of u=e, 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 satis-
factory), location by room number or other identifying information,
and finally, the number of the Form 58SA on which this information
WEB originally recorded by a Survey worker and from which it was ab-
stracted 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, indication
of this is given by use of the reference "See addenda."
N In Tennessee the work of the Survey was under the direction of
Judge Samuel C. Williams with Mr. Lowe Watkins, who later succeeded
him as director, as his assistant. In May 1957, Tennessee was added
to the region under the direction of Mr. Stanley C. Arthur of
New Orleans, La., with Mr. John S. Luton as state supervisor. This
Inventory of the records of the Department of Justice in Tennessee
was prepared in the New Orleans office of the Survey under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Norris Fazekas, editor-in-chief and supervisor, and was
edited before final typing by Dr. Richard R. Stenberg of the
Washington office.

ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
Post Office and Courthouse
, Main and Walnut Sts.
The United States Attorney's office was established in Knoxville
about 1798. The Office was housed in the old Courthouse, Main and Gay
Streets from 1842 to 1874, and in the old Post Office Building, Clinch
and Market Streets, from 1874 to 1954, when it moved to the Post Office
and Courthouse, Main and Walnut Streets. Information as to what
buildings this agency occupied prior to 1842 is not available. This
office had jurisdiction over the Knoxville, Greenville, and Chatta~
nooga Divisions, Eastern District. In May 1956 the office of the
U. S. Attorney was moved to Chattanooga and the Assistant U. S.
Attorney was located in Knoxville. Records listed below are probably
mixed records of the U. S. Attorney and Assistant U. S. Attorney.
In 1924, to reduce the volume of papers considered valueless, old
correspondence of a private nature was destroyed upon written authority
from the Attorney General. All other records have been retained, and
none have been lost. Monthly reports are sent to Washington.
