The W is one of the pro~
:1 dUCtS 0f the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated q
3 as a nation—Wide project of the Works Progress Administration from 1
1 January 1: 1936 to June 30, 1937, and has been continued since that 3
‘4 date as a unit of the Historical Records Survey, also Operating as " fl
:5 ' a nation~wide project of the works Progress Administration, and a :
i group Of’State or local projects of that Administration. a
, The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows: _‘ '
- Series 1 consists of reports on the_adninistration of the Survey, cc~ 1
-, knowledgments, and general discussions of the location, condition, and 1
" content of federal archives in the stetcs. Srcceeifing series centéin - 1
‘V the detailed information securei 1y workers of the Survev, in invcit~ 1
. Cry fOrm, a separate series number being designed to each cf tdc ei- -
9 ecutive departments (except the Departnent of State) and other urjor 1
units of the Federal Government. Within each series 30. l is i.gen— 1
eral intrOduction to the field organizatio: and records of the gover— 1
3f nmental agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the inrent— 1
' QTY proper, separate numbers being assigned to one: stzte in slphabet- 1
ical Order. Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alabana is No. 2, '
that for Arizona No. 3, that for Arkansas No. 11, etc. 3
For each lOcal office information regarding each series, or unit of 1
- related records, is presented in the following order: title, inclusive H
, dates ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the information 1
' was secured), general description Of informational content, description I
1 of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement of frequency 1 .
and purpose of use, form of the record itself (bound volumes, sheets 1 j
in folders, etc.), linear footage, description of the containers, phy— ‘ 1 ‘
sical condition.of the records (not stated if satisfactory), location 1
. by room number or other identifying information, and finally, the num~ 1
3 ber of the Form 585A on which this information was originally records: 1 1
' by a Survey worker and from which it was abstracted for the Inventory. , 1
1 This form is on file in the National Archives. When it contains sub“ 1
' stantial information on addenda sheets which has not been included in 1
. the mimeographed abstract, indication of this is give: by use of the 1
' reference ”See addenda.” 1 1

§%. INTRODUCTIDI £1
'e .,
_Q During the period following the acquisition of Arizona north of :‘
2% the Gila River in 1846, and south of that river in 185%, while the "
é territory was nominally a part Of New Mexico, there do not appear T
L? to have been any courts of record in the territory. In fact, on E
June 8, 1562, Col. James E. Carlton, 1st California Volunteers,
3; issued a proclamation, at Tucson, declaring himself Military Gover— 3
1?: nor of the Territory of Arizona ”until such time as a Civil Govern— i
.,g ment is established.” The original proclamation written in long E
"2 hand On a double sheet of ruled foolscap is now in the Arizona Pion— ,
‘_ eers’ Historical Society at Tueson. The Organic Act of the Terri— J
: tory of Arizona, approved February EH, 1863, provided ”the Judicial 4 .
‘ power shall be vested in a Supreme Court, to consist of three judges-- E
5 who ... shall be appointed by the President, by and :ith the advice i
of the Senate.” 1:: 155‘»: the. territory was divided into three Judi— .
_' cial Districts and the £01lowing Judges appointed: E
Wu. F. Turner, Chief Justice :
', Henry T. Backus, Associate Justice 1 _
' Joseph P. Alleys, Associate Justice ,1
These Judges were assigned to t;e three districts and held terms of ?
both United States and Territorial district courts in the several 1
.. cougty seets within their districts. Periodically they met at the E
: capitol and held terms of tee Territorial Supreme Court. ... the E
3. justice from whose district a case was appealed not sitting with J
’ the c0urt in the consideration of that particular case.
1 The United States courts for the Territory were originally di—
vided into three districts, comprising the four original colnties. A
5 As new counties were created the Territory was redistricted from TI .
' time to time. The chronology of such jurisdictional changes ar~ E
ranged by districts and counties, follows: E
