The term has been adapted from the usage of the Library of Congress. These folders, of which only two complete copies exist, contain registers of more than a hundred collections pertinent to the history of the Federal Reserve System, The information included in them has been gathered from many sources, and compiled in the office of the Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve System, As a compilation, this is a research aid still in progress. It will grow as further work done in these papers reveals additional information which can be added to the respective registers, and as other collections of papers are discovered for which new registers can be made and added to the group. A short version of this material, consisting of face sheets and biographic sheets, but without content lists, description of series or inventories, has been distributed to a selected list of libraries. The material in these folders should be handled as confidential guides to the whereabouts and, where sufficient information exists, to the contents of the collections listed. Part of the information they contain was gathered from public sources. Some of it is copyrighted. Much of it was given to this Committee solely for the use of responsible scholars working under its auspices on the History of the Federal Reserve System, Its use should be restricted to such persons.
