This series of files is comprised of three linear feet of material and contains correspondence, finding aids, and reference material relating to records and manuscripts that now are part of Record Group 45 and other holdings at the National Archives. The materials were originated and prepared by the former Archives Section of the Office of Naval Records and Library. Also included are folders of correspondence pertaining to documents that were loaned to various individuals and institutions, as well as miscellaneous copies and receipts.
Z File materials are unavailable for loan and must be consulted in the library. Photocopying of manuscripts, as well as fragile items, is generally prohibited, though the use of digital cameras by researchers to reproduce non-copyrighted materials is permitted. Permission to photocopy a few pages may be granted by the reference staff, contingent upon the physical state of items. All photocopying of materials shall be done by the reference staff, or under their close supervision. The use of personal scanners by non-library staff personnel must be approved by the reference staff on a document-by-document basis (Reference: Naval Historical Center Instruction [NAVHISTCENTINST] 5070.1C.).
