Coleman Council of National Library Associations Elizabeth Ferguson SLA Metals Division Fall Meeting Published SPECIAL LIBRARIES by ASSOCIATION ARCHIVES OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM* MARGUERITE BURNETT Research Associate, Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve Federal Reserve Bank of New York, New York City S INCE M Y R E T I R E M E N T last year I have been privileged to take part in t h e very interesting project of t h e Committee on t h e History of t h e Federal Reserve System. This is an extensive five-year project financed by t h e Rockefeller Foundation and is under the joint supervision of t h e Brookings Institution. T h e committee has eight distinguished members, prominent in the financial and educational world, and t h e chairman is Allan Sproul, president of t h e Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Mildred Adams is executive director a n d I a m one of t h e research staff a t t h e committee headquarters in the N e w York Reserve Bank. T h e prime work of this staff is to uncover archival material and, in general, t o lay an elaborate groundwork for a comprehensive history of t h e Federal Reserve System which will eventually emerge in t h e form of books and monographs written by scholars. This should be welcome news t o financial librarians who have been aware of t h e dearth of authoritative literature on the operations of t h e Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve Archives M y work has been chiefly concerned with discovering what is available in the fourteen Federal Reserve libraries * Based on a paper presented before a meeting of the Financial Division at the SLA 46th Annual Convention, Detroit, Michigan, June 14, 1955. NOV EMBER 1955 System, and in certain N e w York bank libraries as well as in locating private papers of important individuals connected with the Federal Reserve System. This information is carded and eventually will provide a comprehensive index to t h e available r a w material for historians who will write studies on Federal R e serve operations and history. Interviews and Papers T w o important sub-projects of t h e committee involve t h e discovery of unpublished material that will help illumine episodes around which conflicts have swarmed and also around the interplay of personalities in t h e formulation of policies. This is done in two ways, through interviews with living persons who can be induced to reminisce, and through search for papers left behind by important leaders now dead. T h e executive director of t h e Committee on t h e History of t h e Federal Reserve System has already interviewed many persons, recording their recollections on tape or in memorandum form. Officers of m a n y years' standing recall scenes in their careers that stand out vividly, or tell revealing stories of activities a n d personal idiosyncrasies of m e n who were responsible for policies. Older employees at Federal R e serve Banks, now retired or about to retire, have supplied colorful tales of the early days. These were t h e very first days of organizing t h e Federal R e 383 serve Banks in 1914, when member bank subscriptions poured in so fast that the money spilled over from boxes on to the floor as the small band of workers tried to cope with t h e flood. Similar scenes occurred in the first days of the Liberty Loan campaigns of World W a r I, when officers and clerks frequently worked all night sorting piles of Liberty Bonds and records. Then there were the frantic day and night secret sessions of bankers under the leadership of the Federal Reserve trying to save the Bank of United States from its colossal collapse, and the unprecedented events of the Banking Crisis of 1935. Papers T h e r e are voluminous files of correspondence, journals and other private papers left by prominent individuals that throw light on events in which we are interested. Such collections have often been scattered among libraries in different institutions throughout the country, or stored in warehouses, or buried in cellars and attics of homes, almost forgotten by the family. T o ferret these out, following various clues as they are uncovered, makes an exciting treasure hunt. One such collection of papers that is especially important for Federal Reserve research is that of former Senator Carter Glass. H e not only had much to do with passing the original Federal Reserve Act but also for many years, with subsequent legislative developments. These papers were deposited with the University of Virginia and, under the stimulus and financing of the committee, a detailed and annotated listing of the contents of t h e many boxes has already been made. In prospect is an analytical index to this register which will make the collection readily usable by any scholar. Indexes and Catalogs Already our executive director has assembled a surprising amount of bibliographical research data, although t h e 384 project is only a year and a half old. Besides the continually growing catalog of published material on the Federal Reserve System, such as books, pamphlets, speeches, magazine articles and testimony at Federal Reserve Hearings, two indexes have especially aroused my admiration. T h e y are both worth describing as suggestions to librarians who m a y have to undertake projects along this line. Time and Name Files One index, called simply t h e "Time File", is ingenious and useful. Rather than the cramping standard 3" x 5" cards of library fame, 5" x 8" cards are used. T h e arrangement is chronological by years 1908 to date. We antedate the passing of the Federal Reserve Act by five preliminary years. T h e r e are separate cards for ten categories of information, including top personnel of the Federal Reserve Board and of the Federal Reserve Banks (officers and directors), U. S. Government executive officers, Banking and Currency committees of the Senate and the House, legislation, and t h e Hearings affecting the System. Thus, if one wishes to know what happened in 1935 one can, by glancing through t h e cards, get a birds-eye view of all the officials and events concerned with the System in that year. This index could be adapted by any librarian confronted with the task of assembling material for a definitive history of his organization. T h e second useful tool which is in constant use by our staff, is t h e "Name File Index" arranged on similar largesized cards. This contains over 2,100 cards and is constantly growing. A card under a person's name is started with biographical data obtained from various Who's Who's and directories, and is added to as additional i n f o r m a t i o n turns up, such as location of t h e individual's personal and unpublished papers. T h e names include all t h e officials listed in the "Time File" by years, arranged alphabetically. T h e r e are also SPECIAL LIBRARIES names of any other persons who have some particular interest for us, such as scholars who might be enlisted in the writing project or who could contribute in any way. Much labor was involved in collecting the data and typing the cards but the effort has been repaid many times over. Definition of Archives Archives — just.what are they? After working the good part of a year on an archives project I still feel like a modern Diogenes with his lamp, searching for a really satisfactory definition of archives. A popular misconception was revealed by a columnist on the Washington Post who defined an archivist as a "dead file clerk". H e then played with the idea as to where the hyphen should be placed, i.e., dead-file clerk, or dead file-clerk. Both ideas are equally obnoxious to the trained archivist. Files of old records must never be considered dead. T h e y must be brought to life by intelligent arrangement and imaginative indexing. No mere file clerk should be entrusted with the major operation of organizing the vital records of an institution. It requires an executive with top-notch practical abilities and intellectual acumen as the over-all director. Developments are occurring at such a rapid rate that librarians are in imminent danger of being confronted with archival responsibilities for which they are ill-prepared. For example, firms become suddenly aware that an annivers a r y — 100th, 75th, 50th — is looming, which requires for its celebration a delving into its past history, documented by old records. Therefore it will be well worth the librarian's time to read all he can on t h e literature of archives, and to be prepared to offer preliminary advice as to storage problems, arrangement and cataloging, and the more difficult problem of selection for preserving and discarding. NOVEMBER 1955 T o return to the definition problem, archives are made to include about every form of recorded information. As the National Archives states it, archives are "permanently valuable records, in whatever form, that have been created or received by a governmental body for its official documentation," and it adds, by a "corporation or firm". These include all books, papers, maps, photographs or other documentary material, regardless of physical form or characteristics. Archives include not only what is created but what is received by the firm, as documentary evidence. T h e n u b of the matter is that someone has to decide just what is permanently valuable. Otherwise, practically nothing could be destroyed. Historical Archives T h e r e is one section of the archives field where the librarian has an important role to play — the matter of records which have great subject interest and value fro man historical point of view. These might be termed in many cases secondary archival material, rather than primary archives, since I want to stretch the term to include much that is lodged in library vertical files. This is extremely important for t h e future historian. It is difficult to describe adequately what the librarian should look for and how. T h e literature on archives is expansive on the subject of records in general but is strangely silent, or hesitant, on pronouncements concerning t h e precise methods of spotting policy-making correspondence, memoranda and research studies, and of arranging for their segregation and permanent preservation. Discarding Material Librarians have always been collectors and hoarders by instinct. It is only necessary to alert t h e m to set their sights on more distant and broader horizons. In t h e operation of discarding, for example, instead of yielding to t h e 385 urge to clear those choked files or crowded shelves by throwing out everything indiscriminately, say before an arbitrary date, like 1945, or 1940, t h e librarian must grasp firmly a mental geiger counter and test each piece of paper for historical uranium that the historian of the future m a y prize. There must be a constant search for treasure in what seems like obsolete material, superseded data, and in general, "junk", that accumulates so rapidly in files. Here may be buried clues to obscure incidents in the organization's history, or the background material for policy formulation that would be invaluable for a scholar doing research on the subject. Speeches of officers that have long outlived their current or topical referance value often indicate a point of view on the firm's policy as of a certain date. Group photographs m a y list forgotten names. Private letters, and internal memoranda m a y cite amusing anecdotes and illuminating, frank comments on persons and events. These m a y transport the historian to a vanished time and bring to life again scenes and moods that accompanied important incidents. History is more t h a n just a chronicle of events. T h e r e are a couple of practical suggestions that occur to me for emphasizing the archival side of the librarian's work. H e can publicize a warm welcome awaiting all donations of discarded material from officers' private files when they are driven to clear out accumulations. R e m e m b e r that the apparent "junk" m a y bring some treasure, even though 95 per cent of the material is quietly discarded. T h e librarian can also turn pirate-raider, if h e knows an officer is about to retire, and puts in his request early for old records. Archival Indexes Another important archival function t h a t falls naturally in the domain of t h e librarian is t o start a card index of 386 archival material that is located elsewhere in the organization, some of which b y its nature would never be consigned to the library, or even to a special archives collection. Examples are the original charter (usually kept under lock and key in some v a u l t ) , legal doc\iments of various sorts, minutes of the Board of Directors, committee records, biographical data and personnel files on officers and directors. I m p o r t a n t picture collections of the building in process of construction or renovation, and of events and persons, m a y be located in different departments. The Librarian's Attitude This new attitude of acquiring what is old and preserving it in perpetuity, instead of concentrating on the new and discarding for efficiency, is not easy to cultivate. T h e typical financial or business librarian has learned b y experience t h a t he must not only be on his toes in search for up-to-the-minute current information, but ever gazing in the crystal ball of t h e future in order to anticipate future demands for information. In this new archival field, there is an entirely different approach. T h e librarian must now become Janus-faced, looking forward, of course, but also looking backward with equally discerning eyes. Not only must the past history of his own organization be kept in mind, but also local history as it impinges on t h a t history and even on national and international events. T h e full background of facts, color and atmosphere must somehow be preserved through paper evidence that will evoke t h e m for the imaginative historian. Since few rules can b e listed, as every organization's life history is different, it all boils down to t h a t intangible thing — the attitude and interest of t h e librarian. H e must use all his resources of imagination and insight to avoid destroying what is irreplaceable in the history of the firm's activities.
