Preface

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has produced thousands of rolls of microfilm of federal records.  NARA organizes that microfilm by M- and T- publication numbers.  M- publications reproduce an entire series of records whereas T- publications may contain only segments (by date or subject) of a larger series and lack the introductions and accompanying descriptive pamphlets which the M publications have. 

The following is an 88-page descriptive list of the NARA microfilm publications that the Center of Southwest Studies has purchased from the National Archives Trust Fund.  This list does not include the hundreds of rolls of federal decennial census records that the Center has also bought from the National Archives (described at http://swcenter.fortlewis.edu/inventory/USCensusMicrofilm.htm ).  Any printed guides to the microform collections that the Center has, are filed by I-number in the Center's manuscript collection M 129.  NARA is the source of all info in quotes, and all the roll contents lists.

The first column is the National Archives (NARA) Publication Number.  Except for the census microfilm (which is all grouped together), the NARA microfilm at the Center of Southwest Studies is filed by this number.  For an online description of U.S. federal record groups (which are the backbone of the organization of all records in the National Archives), go to http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/index-numeric/

Office of Indian Affairs (Central Office) letters sent, 1824-1881.

"This series consists of handwritten copies of the general outgoing correspondence of the Office of
Indian Affairs. Included are instructions to superintendents, agents, and other employees and
acknowledgments of and replies to incoming correspondence.  Reports to the Secretary of War
(or to the Secretary of the Interior after 1849) and to certain other officials, including chairmen of
congressional committees, were copied in a separate series of volumes called "Report Books"
(see NARA publication M348 [not held at the Center of Southwest Studies]).

Until 1869 the letters were copied in chronological order. Beginning in that year, two or more books
were used simultaneously.  Letters relating to certain broad subjects (such as land, finance, and
civilization) were copied into separate books, but within each book the arrangement continued to
be chronological.  Most of the volumes are indexed by name of addressee and, to some extent, by
subject.  There are also marginal notations of the page numbers for other letters to the same person."

Registers of letters received by the United States Geological Survey, 1879-1901.

"This microfilm publication reproduces a series of 26 registers of letters received by the Office of
the Director of the United States Geological Survey, 1879-1901.  The entries in these volumes are
arranged in chronological order by the date of receipt of the incoming communication with some
exceptions.  For each letter, the following information is entered in the register: the date of receipt
and file number assigned to the incoming communication (document number), the name and address
of the writer, the date of the letter, a brief abstract of the contents, and a reference date or notation
indicating the action taken in regard to the communication. Occasional omissions and other errors
occur.

Notations relating to action taken with regard to the incoming correspondence are of particular
significance for 1899-1901, since copies of outgoing communications of the survey are not
available for those years."

Letters received by John Wesley Powell, Director of the Geographical and
               Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region, 1869-1879.

"The Geological Survey was established in 1879 in the Department of the Interior to classify
public lands and to examine the geological structure, mineral resources, and other products of
the national domain.  It replaced four earlier surveys: the U.S. Geological and Geographic
Survey of the Territories (Hayden Survey), 1867-79; the U.S. Geographical and Geological
Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region (Powell Survey), 1869-79; the U.S. Geographical
Surveys West of the One Hundredth Meridian (Wheeler Survey), 1872-79; and the Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel (King Survey), 1867-79.  The Hayden and Powell Surveys
in particular included ethnological and archaeological studies."

"This microfilm publication reproduces the letters received by Maj. John Wesley Powell, 1869-79. 
It includes letters from frontiersmen and Indian agents, including Jacob Hamblin, the `Mormon
Leatherstocking.'  The letters are arranged systematically first by year and then alphabetically by
the surname of the correspondent and, occasionally, by the name of the institution represented
by the correspondent.

John Wesley Powell, director of the Rocky Mountain Survey, was especially concerned with
Indian vocabularies and linguistics, and he published works about these interests.  Most of the
records relating to these works are with the Records of the Bureau of American Ethnology
at the National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C."

A related guide is the Catalogue and Index of the Publications of the Hayden, King, Powell, and Wheeler Surveys by L. F. Schmeckebier, 1904, a book that was reprinted by Northwest Books (Portland, Oregon), Library of Congress call number: QE75.B9 #222. (The Delaney Library at the Center of Southwest Studies has this book, for use in the library only.)

State Department Territorial Papers for Arizona, 1864-1872.

"The Department of State supervised affairs in the territories of the United States from 1789 to 1873. 
The department attended to such matters as correspondence between the President and territorial
officials, the printing of territorial laws, and the provision of seals for the official use of the territories. 
 In 1873 Congress transferred the supervision of the territories to the Office of the Secretary of the
Interior.  Records of the period of territorial administration by the Department of State are among
the General Records of the Department of State, Record Group 59.

These records include correspondence, reports, copies of journals of proceedings of legislative
assemblies, and other records relating to territorial administration."

Affairs to members of the President's cabinet having supervisory responsibility for Indian affairs. 
The Report Books also contain some copies of letters to the President, Members of Congress,
and other government officials.  During the early years of the office, the letters to the President
and the Members of Congress were often signed by the Secretary of War rather than by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs.  The use of the Report Books to record letters to officials other
than the supervising Secretary was gradually discontinued, and by 1870 Report Books contained

appointments.  They relat
