F CD E R AL.-.R ESER¥»E Similar letter was sent to each other President (on Committee letterhead) February 11, 1955 I Federal Ke»*r ve 1^8^ otf Ci^vftlanti, In an earlier letter I sought your interest in the work of the Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve System, and your general / ration with its staff. I now have a specific suggestion as to one form of cooperation which I hope will be practical. ) The work of the Committee staff has reached the point where it is facing the implications of the "Manual Relating to Disposition of Records at Federal Reserve Banks", prepared by a System sub-committee on destruction of records. The thing feared by the staff is that the rules set forth in the' manual might mean the loss of material which the Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve System is seeking to have preserved. They also feel that this is not a necessary result of an effective program for record destruction; that, in fact, the destruction of the unneeded and the preservation of the valuable are opposite sides of the same coin, and can be mutually advantageous. To give meaning to this generalization, however, will require that there be someone at each Federal Reserve Bank who has knowledge of this aspect MISC- 14OC.M5M-4-53 F H B W M V I I M MEG LfiV€^BANK OF- of the work of the Committee, and some awareness of the difference "between routine disposable material and records of historical value. Would you "be willing, therefore, to name an officer of your "bank with whom the staff of the Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve System could establish liaison, and who would act as a guide to the supervisor of your files, your custodian of storage records, your librarian, officers, department heads, one else who might have questions about the destruction of records, documents, reports or studies in which the Committee may have an interest? If you would be willing to do this, and will let me know the name of the officer selected, I can ask the staff of our Committee to get in toucPKwith him and to explore and explain more fully what we have in mind. It woup-d be a real help to the Committee on the History of the Federal / System. Yours faithfully, ALLAN Allan Sproul, Chairman.

We are particularly anxious to receive anything you may have published in connection with the 4.0th anniversary of the System.

The Committee will be most grateful for any assistance you can give us.

Bryan, President Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Atlanta 3, Georgia Dear Malcolm: As an outgrowth of conversations between interested parties, there has recently been established a Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve System. I was asked to serve as Chairman, and the following havp agreed to serve as members of the Committee: W. Randolph Burgess, Deputy to the Secretary of the Treasury; William McC. Martin, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Walter W. Stewart of the Council of Economic Advisers; Robert D. Calkins, President of the Brookings Institution; and Donald B. Woodward, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Vick Chemical Corporation, Secretary. With the aid of a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, a pilot project has been organized to interview people who have had something to do with the development of the Federal Reserve System, and locate and catalogue information and material which might form the basis for later studies and publications with respect to the Federal Reserve System, Miss Mildred Adams has been appointed Research Director of this pilot project, with an office in this Bank. Miss Adams is already engaged in this work, and I think it is likely that, as the work proceeds, she will want to communicate with you concerning things you may have stored in your head or materials you may have in your files. The Committee will appreciate it if you will respond to such requests by giving her such information as you think may be useful in the project. If the pilot project is successful, we believe that it may lay the foundation for historical studies, which could extend over several years, and which will be of interest to the Federal Reserve System, to economists, and others. The present phase, however, is largely exploratory. Yours faithfully, (Signed) ALLAN SPROUL Allan Sproul, President. FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS' CORRESPONDENCE FILES 1. Boston 2. Nev York 3.
