REEL 1-68 Control File, 1901-1930
Available only on microfilm. Shelf no. 20,283
The Control File is available on microfilm and contains records relating to the functions of the Order Division. Records from successor Library units, such as the Accessions Division, may also be included. The original records were reformatted on microfilm in 1991 by the Library's Photoduplication Service. With the exception of one record carton of correspondence, the bulk of the records in this series were destroyed after microfilming. Copies of the physical records may be interfiled with fiscal year documentation throughout the collection. The Control File primarily consists of transmittal letters to vendors that record information about the source, such as bookseller name and address, date, price of materials, assigned order numbers, and a description of items offered, approved, cancelled, purchased, and received.
Material types include microfilm.
Arranged as received, chronologically and numerically by control number.
