Finding aid

Scope and Content Note

The first part of this collection, boxes 1 through 184 - covering the period of 1912 to 1947, was transferred to the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. The Naval History and Heritage Command has boxes 185 through 552 of this collection. The finding aid covers the entire collection, including those records held by the National Archives.  However, the arrangement of the records in boxes 1 through 184 of this finding aid may not correspond to the arrangement held at the National Archives. 

The part of the collection held by NHHC covers primarily the post-World War II timeframe, with some data from 1940-1945. The boxes in the collection were renumbered, and the finding aid does not currently reflect the new box numbers. The series listings for this part of the collection are as follows:
