The National Inventory of Documentary Sources in the United
States is being launched to bring together through reproduction on
microfiche many thousands of finding aids, registers, and collection
guides in repositories throughout the country. The majority of these
are unpublished and are only available in one or two copies. The
National Inventory is divided into four parts: (1) federal records (the
National Archives, the presidential libraries, and the Smithsonian
Institution Archives), (2) Manuscript Division, Library of Congress,
(3) state archives, state libraries, and state historical societies, (4) aca-
demic and research libraries and other repositories. Each part is a
self-contained publication with its own index. The parts will be added
to and the indexes updated as new finding aids become available.
Parts 1 and 2 were published in the fall of 1983, while parts 3 and 4
are due out this year.
