Miss Mildred Adams, .MAY 1 6 19o5

Committee on the History of the COMMITTEE ON THE HISTORY Federal Reserve System, 0 F T H E

33 Liberty Street, FEOERAt RESERVE SYSTEM New York 45$ New York.

Dear Miss Adams:

I wish to apologise for the long delay in replying to your letters of April 19 and May 6. A series of conferences the last few weeks has thrown our regular work off schedule.

Answers to your questions are set forth below in the same order as they appear in your letters*

The Bank has accumulated a file of staff papers and studies. It is called "Department Memos" and"Division Studies".

The period covered is approximately since 1919, but it is fragmentary during certain periods.

Current studies are filed in the Research Department, including two years issues of the Monthly Review and copies of all Supplements to the Review issued to date. A current file is also maintained on research memoranda prepared for internal use. The remainder of the material is filed in Old Records.

The materials are classified as follows: "Division Studies" are filed according to type of study, i.e. Bank, Area Analysis, Agriculture, Retail Trade, Business Conditions, etc. Usually a study appears as an article in the Monthly Review but some are studies or memoranda which have not been used for publication. Other "Division Studies" include original data,collected from Twelfth District Firms, i.e. department stores, furniture stores, apparel stores, banking data for 416 and 635 reports, operating ratios, etc.

A majority of the material is concerned with Regional matters - industry studies, area studies, general business conditions, banking, including demand deposit survey, interest rate survey, California Bankers Association survey, etc. Some of the material deals with national subjects. There is also material in the international area. Some of these studies are for directors1 reports, others for limited circulation} some are

detailed country studies with emphasis on the Far East countries, trade policies in various countries and balance of payment studies. Research Memoranda of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and material from the Board of Governors pertaining to the international field are also maintained as are standard sources from the Department of Commerce and the United Nations and its agencies.

We maintain fairly complete files of outside source material, particularly statistical data on the area covered by the Twelfth District, which are available in answering requests from students, the public and, in particular, member banks. Department memoranda and Division studies, other than those appearing in the Monthly Review or other published form, are not available either to students or to the public except on specific authorization.

We note that in the material attached to your letter of May 6 under the heading Publications, Annual Report, no mention was made of the annual reports published by the Federal Reserve Agent through 1934 or of the special annual report published by the Bank for 1954> although this latter is referred to under Anniversary Issues of House Organs, Periodicals, Newspapers.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need further information in regard to research studies and staff memoranda.

Yours very truly,

(JJ. P . WhtereleSf, Vice President*

COMMITTEE o n THE H i s T O R V OF THE J

FEDERAL BEssavfi svaiffj

Miss Marguerite Burnett Committee on the History of the Federal Reserve System

33 Liberty Street New York 4-5 > New York

Dear Marguerite:

I am sorry to have left important information out of my recent letter.

The House Organ file is kept in the Library, With the exception of Annals of 12-L. Vol, 1, 1920 and Vol* 2, 1921 nothing is bound. They are not catalogued, although I now have hope that we will get them on cards. I have never had, until the present, anyone trained in cataloguing and had no time, myself, for the job. We are working on a catalogue revision, and will include the file of our staff publications in this project. We will report to you once it is done.

Something else I didn't indicate clearly which I thought of after mailing my letter, was the frequency of publication of H. 0. N. and H. 0« P. Except for the period which I noted, when H. 0. N. was issued as a weekly, they have been ostensibly on a monthly basis. However, the notation, I suppose, should be "frequency varies," the reason being that the monthly issuance could not always be maintained because of the stringencies of bank work and certain emergency situations.

Something I regret very much is the fact that we do have a few gaps in the file, because various editors, in spite of pleas and tears on our part, have neglected to obtain copies for the Library. When we put the file on cards, we will make an exact record of the missing issues. Every now and then one turns up to fill in a gap.

The document "Evacuation Operation - Pacific Coast Military Areas, 1942" is kept in the Filing Department.


(2)

I hope this takes care of the incomplete listing.

We, too, are having chilly storming weather. Even when the sun shines it merely looks like spring but doesn't feel like it in the least. Let us hope for better things, both East and West.

Yours sincerely,

ElizabetTTH. Holden Librarian
