THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NO. 34. OHIO Columbus, Ohio The Historical Records Survey 1939 DIVISION OF WOMEN'S AND PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS Florence S. Kerr, Assistant Administrator Mildred Thrasher, State Director Works Progress Administration F. C. Harrington, Administrator Carl Watson, State Administrator iii PREFACE The Inventory of Federal Archives in the States is one of the products of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which operated as a nation-wide project of the Works Progress Administration from January 1, 1936 to June 30, 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 Works Progress Administration, and a group of state or local projects 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, acknoledgments, and general discussions of the location, condition, and content of federal archivesin 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 unis of the Federal Government. Within each series No. 1 is a general introduction to the field organization 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 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, 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 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 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." In Ohio the work of the Survey was under the direction of Dr. William D. Overman with Mr. William M. Verross as his assistant until February 15, 1937. At that time Mr. Verross became director and served until February 1938. The project has since been under the technical direction of the Historical Records Survey with Mr. Willmon H. Dorn as supervising clerk. This Inventory of the records of the Department of the Navy in Ohio was prepared in the Columbus office of the Survey and was edited before final typing by Dr. Henry P. Beers of the Division of Navy Department Archives of The National Archives. It is reproduced in mimeographed form through the facilities of the Historical Records Survey. John O.

Its earlier work was confined to signal balloons. Later it con­cerned itself with the construction of the Akron and the Macon.

It serves as a training station for naval reserves who may be called into service in case of war, domestic rebellion, or disasters such as floods and fires. Careful records are kept of its activities and of the enlisted personnel under its jurisdiction. In addition to the regular staff there are two medical specialists, located respectively at White Cross Hospital and the Riebel Bldg., and a radio operator at 763 Mohawk St. Separate files are maintained by each of the last mentioned units. Since, however, they are a part of the central station, their records are properly listed under the latter. Some of the records of this agency were destroyed in 1932 by the accidental explosion of a hand grenade which had been placed in one of the filing cases. With this exception, its records are intact for the entire period of its history. 169. PERSONNEL RECORDS, 1923 to date.
