The reel guide is intended for use with the more detailed
index
catalog to the records prepared by H.S. Cobb in 1952,
as revised and expanded by R.A. Keen in 1960. A copy of
the full index is available on microfilm (reel no. 1 of
the microfilm copy of the Archives), on loan at CRL, or
in xerox copy at the Center for Research Libraries ($25.00
per copy).
This index catalog is arranged by classification number,
and describes the contents of each file or volume. The guide
is arranged first by mission, and under each mission by
classification number. Each classification number shows
the microfilm reel that contains that classification number.
