The W 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 30, 1937, and has been continued in
New York 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
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
p 1 is a general introduction to the field organization and records of
the governmental agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain '
the inventory preper, 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. 4,
etc. '
For each local office information regarding each series, or unit
of related records is presented in the following order: title, in—
clusivo dates ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the in—
formation was secured), general description of informational content,
description of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement 1
of frequency and purpose of use, 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 588A on which this information
was 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." ,
The work of the Survey in New York was under the direction of 7
Captain Fred P. Todd from its inception until June 30, 1937, at which
time it was placed under the supervision of the Historical Records
Survey. The Survey in New York City was under the direction of
Dr. Richard B. Morris from January 1936 until August 1937 when he re—
signed and was succeedijgrhis assistant Mr. Hermann F. Robinton who '
‘ supervised the project until May 31, 1938. From that time until
April 1939 Mr. Vincent Jacobi directed the project with Mr. Isidor
Paskoff as Project Supervisor. Since that time Mr. Paskoff has super— 1
vised the Survey. This Inventory of the record of the Federal Courts 3
in New York was prepared in the New York City office of the Survey
and was edited before final typing by Dr. Richard R. Stenberg of the
Washington office. . ‘

INTRODUCTION
By act of September 24, 1789, New York was created into a judicial
district, with a district court and one judge. The district court
held four sessions annually at New York City. The circuit court was
held each year alternately at New York City and at Albany. The
eastern judicial district included four states ~ New York, New Hamp~
shire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The act of April 29, 1812
provided for the appointment of an additional district judge. In
addition to the four terms of the district court held annually at New
York City four other terms were held — two at Utica, one at Geneva, ,
and one at Salem. The clerk was to reside at Utica and attend court
at the other places.
The state was divided into two districts, northern and southern, '
by the act of April 9, 1814. The terms of the district court for
the southern district were held at New York City and those of the
northern district at UtiCa, Salem and Canandaugua. The district
court for the northern district was to hays circuit court jurisdic~
tion, and appeals were to be allowed from it to the circuit court
of the southern district. The circuit court for the southern dis—
trict was held at New York City. The places where terms of the
court were held and the number of judges assigned to each court did
. not remain static. Frequent acts of Congress provided for these ‘ ‘
changes. ‘
By the act of February 25, 1865, the southern district was di—
vided into the southern and eastern, the latter consisting of the
counties of Kings, Queens, Suffolk, and Richmond. The northern dis—
, trict was divided into the northern and western districts by the act _
of May 12, 1900. ;
The Circuit Court of Appeals was established by the act of March
8, 1891. Thereafter, all appeals from the district court were to be
taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals or to the Supreme Court, and
not to the circuit courts. ‘
The U. S. Customs Court was established in 1926, replacing the E
Board of General Appraisers which had been in existence since 1890.
The New York office is the only office of the court. Appeals from
the U. S. Customs Court are taken to the Court of Customs and Patent
Appeals in Washington, D. C. s

(If The predecessor of the Court of Customs was the Board of General Of
g} Appraisers, which was created in 1890. In 1926 the Board was abole - 05
}1 ished and the Court of Customs established. All records in the cus—
: tody of the former were taken over by the newly established unit.
}“ Until 1930 the court and the board before it was under the jurisdic— of
,p tion of the Department of the Treasury; in that year the court was ?3
(“1 incorporated into the judicial system. The function of the Court of 1“
‘ C, Customs is to pass on decisions made by the Appraiser of Customs 01
: when these decisions are apnenled. Thus it is really an appellate 3'
court, and has no original jurisdiction. Appeals from the Court of
‘ Customs are taken to the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals in
.*1 Washington, D. 0. CI
, The files of the court are not complete, for many papers in a~ _ m1
bandoned and decided cases were destroyed after permission to dis» m
pose of these records had been secured from Congress. 0
