The Inventory of Federal Arphivss_inQths_§tatos is one of the
productE*oT the work olriE§:Y§xF5§;7;f Federal Archives, which operated
as a nati¤n·wido project of the Works Progress Administration from
January 1, 1956 to June 30, 1937, and has been continued in Mississippi
since that date as a state project 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 con-
tain the detailed information Secured by workers of the Survey, in in-
ventory form, a separate series number being assigned to each of the
executive departments (except the Department of Stats) ans other major
units of the Federal Government. Within each series No. l is a general
introduction to the field organization and records of the governmental
agency concerneog the succerding numbers contain the inventory proper,
separate numbers being assigned to each state in alphabetical order,
Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alabama is Ne. 2, that for
Arizona No. 5, that for Arkansas No. 4, 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), general 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 feotage, description of the containers, physical
condition of the reccios (nrt stated if satisfactory), location by room _
number or other identifying infonuation, and finally, the number of the
Form 58SA on which this information was originally recorded by a Survey
worker and from which it was abstracted for tho Inventory. This form
is on filo in The National Archives. When it contains substantial in-
formation on addenda sheets which has not been included in the mimeo—
graphed abstract, inoication of this is given by use of the referencs
"See addenda." _
In Mississippi the work of the Survey was under the direction of
Mr. Stanley C. Arthur, regional director for Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Mississippi, with Mr. George E. Schilling as state supervisor, until
June 50, 1937. Since that time Mr. Schilling has been in charge of the
state project. This Inventory of the records of the Department of
Agriculture in Mississippi was prepared in the New Orleans office of
the Survey under the directirn of Mrs. Norris Fazekas, editor-in—chief
and assistant state supervisor, and was editec before final typing by
Mr. L. J. Barter, Jr. of the Division of Agriculture Department Archives
of Ths National Archives.
