  The Invent0% of Federal Archives in the States is one of the products
li ! of the work o e Survey of FeHe5a`1° Archives, which operated as a nation-
 xi wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January l, 1956 to
I  June 50, 1937, and has been continued since that date as a unit of the
(  Historical Records Survey, also operating as a nation-wide project of the
_i   y Works Progress Administration, and a group of state or local projects of ,
5  that Administration and of the Work Projects Administration. l
 pi  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
Q archives in the states• Succeeding series contain the detailed infozmation
  secured by workers of the Survey, i.n inventory form, a separate series
aq number being assigned to each of the executive departments (except the
  Department of State) and other major units of the Federal Government.
V Within each series Ne. 1 is a general introduction to the field organiza-
,  tion and records of the governmental 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
§j  Alabama is No. 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
 rl dates ("to date" indicating an open filo at the time tho information was
  secured), general description of informational content, description of the
Q 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.),
 i linear footage, description 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 58SA on which
  this information was originally recorded by a Survey worker and from which
  it was abstracted for the Inventory. This form is on file in The National
  Archives. When it contains substantial infomation on addenda sheets which
  has not been included in the mimeographed abstract, indication of this is
i f given by use of the reference "See addenda."
  In North Carolina the work of the Survey was under the direction of
IJ  Dr, C, C. Crittenden, Regional Director, with Miss Mattie Erma Edwards as
  assistant, from its inception until June 1937. Since that time it has
  been under the supervision of Miss Emily Bridgers. This Inventoxy of the
  records of the Department of Labor in North Carolina was prepared in the
 in  Raleigh office of the Survey and was edited before final typing by Miss
  Elizabeth Edwards of the Washington office.

  Prior to 1882 the administration of immigration matters was handled by y
;Q the several states. An act to regulate immigration was passed on August l
  5, 1882, charging the Secretary of the Treasury withthe execution of its !
  provisions. This was done in cooperation with the several states through
  contracts executedbetween the Department and the Boards of State Ehnigra- J
  tion Commissioners. These contracts were abrogated pursuant to the act
  of March 5, 1891 which instituted an Office of Ixmuigration in the Treasury
  Department with a Superintendent of Immigration at its head. The Super-
  intendent*s title was changed to that of Commissioner-General of Immigra-
  tion and the Office of Immigration became a Bureau in the Treasury Depart-
ij ment by the act of March 2, 1895. On February 14, 1905 the Bureau of Im-
  migration was transferred from the Treasury Department to the newly formed
  Department of Commerce and Labor. OI1 June 29, 1906 a Division of Naturali- I
  zation was created and the title Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization
4 was assumed. In the field work of the Division of Naturalization, the
  Department of Commerce and Labor worked in cooperation with the Department ‘
$ of Justice until July 1, 1909 when the functions performed by that Depart- »
  ment were transferred to the Department of Commerce and Labor. On March 4,
  1915 separate Bureaus of Immigration and Naturalization were established
  in the newly formed Department of Labor. On June 10, 1935 the two Bureaus
  were consolidated and became the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
  Subsequent to the Survey, in June 1940 Congress authorized the transfer of
  the Service to the Department of Justice,
  The functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service consist of
  the excnuinatien of immigrants and travelers, including ships* crews, enter- i
  ing the United States by sea, land,‘or air; the enforcement of all laws
i relating to the admission of aliens, including the administration of the
g Chinese exclusion laws; the enforcement of the various deportation
gv statutes covering the arrest, prosecution, and expulsion of such aliens as
  have entered illegally, or whose misconduct, criminal, immoral, or
1 subversive, has rendered them liable to deportation; and the administra-•
  tion of the naturalization law by assisting Federal and certain State
é courts and officials in determining the merit of those seeking United
  States citizenship,

TTE UNITED STATES E}¤.EPLO1’l·¤HIT SERVICE
INTRODUCTIEN
The United States Employment Service was established by the Depariment  
of Labor in 1914 under the authority derived from the statutory powers of i
the Division of Information of the Bureau of Immigration, where in 1907 a ’
_ public employment system had been established in connection with the immi-
gration station at New York. Prior to October 15, 1917 the United States
Employment Service was conducted as a part of the Division of Information T
A of the Bureau of Immigration. The funds necessary to carry on this work ,
1 were taken from the immigration appropriations, and many of the field
Q officers of the Bureau of Immigration acted in a dual capacity both as
immigration and employment officials. The United States Employment Service ,
  became a separate unit in the Department of Labor on January 5, 1918.
The United States Employment Service which succeededthe unit set up in
‘ 1918 was establishedby the Wagner-Peyser Act of June 6, 1955 and began
  operations on July 1, 1955. In setting up and maintaining a national
system of employment, the USES operated through two types of offices — state
employment service offices, established in accordance with the Wagner-Peyser N
. Act and affiliated by agreement with the USES, and offices of the National A
1 Reemployment Service. The latter was an emergency agency set up in July
1955 as a division within the USES for the primary purpose of placing labor
on projects financed with public works and emergency relief funds although  
it also placed workers in private industry. Its activities and those of y
the state employment service offices were coordinated to prevent overlapping A
and as the facilities of the latter were enlarged, the offices, positions,
and records of the NRS were turned over to them. This transfer was com-
pleted in North Carolina in 1958. As now organized the North Carolina
State Employment Service is a state agency and an inventory of its records
will appear in the publications of the North Carolina Historical Records
Survey Project.
On July 1, 1959 the United States Employment Service became a unit of
the Social Security Board and thereby part of the Federal Security Agency
established by President Roosevelths Reorganization Plan No. 1.

 Veterans* Placement Representative, Raleigh 6
o RALEIGH T
j VETERAfNS* PLACEMENT REPRESENTATIVE
  Agriculture Bldg., 2 W. Edenton St. (
  The office of the Veterans* Placement Service was established in Raleigh ol
  in 1955 with jurisdiction over the entire state. The only office of its l
1 kind in the state, it was responsible, when the Survey was made, to the
  United States Employment Service, and cooperated with that Service by hav~· T
  ing all of the veterans in the state register for employment with the Q
  Employment Service offices in the state. Subsequent to the Survey, when  
  functions of the United States Employment Service were transferred in j
  July 1959 to the Federal Security Agency, the Veterans* Placement Represent- i
  ative became responsible to the Bureau of Employment Security of that I
  agency. In 1940 his office was moved to that of the North Carolina State Y
  Employment Service in the Caswell Building at the corner of West Jones and .g
  North McDowell Streets. In aiding veterans, the representative works in  
p close cooperation with the State Employment Service. If he learns of a 1
Q vacancy in any line of work, he notifies the employment office with the  
  request that, if possible, a qualified veteran applicant be referred for l Q
  the position. While it is not a regular or required function of the repre- l
  sentative, he does assist veterans in securing hospitalization and Q
i medical aid when needed and renders them every service possible. So-called
` useless papers are filed. p
