GUIDES TO GERMAN BECORDS MICROFILMED AT ALEKAKDRIA, VA.

An American Committee for the Study of the War Documents was established in 1955 as a private group of scholars interested in documentaryresearch and especially inthe microfilming of records of foreign origin kept in American depositories. In 1956 the American Committee "becamea committee of -tfcs. American Historical Association* Its present Chairman (195*0 is Professor Oron J. Hale, University of Virginia, who was pre-ceded "by Dean Reginald H. Phelps, rvard University, and Professor Lynn M. Case of the University of Pennaylaania. An initial Ford Foundationgrant and additional funds provided "by the Old Dominion Foundation enabled the Committee to undertake the cataloguing and microfilming of declas-sified German records in the custody of the World War II Records Division of the ationffl. Archives (previously TAGO, Departmental Records Branch,more recently Military Records Branch, Federal Records Center, Region 3» General Services Administration) at Alexandria, Virginia.

The plans for screening and microfilming of these materials were prepared "by a Subcommittee on Microfilming under the Chairmanship to theend of 1956 of Professor E. Malcolm Carroll* IXake University, and his successor, Dr. Fritz T. Epstein* The Library of Congress. Professor Ger-hard L. Weinberg of the University of Kentucky directed the microfilming team in Alexandria, in 1956/57 which is now under the supervision ofDr. Dagmar Hbrna Perman.

The present guide is a collection of descriptions of records groups filmed by the Microfilming Project of the &EA Committee. Because theproject is not yet complete, this guide will appear in installments.

The American Historical Association expresses its appreciation for the cooperation given to its Committee for the Study of War Documents*by the staffs of the World- War* II Beeords Division, the National Archives, a«i the U. &, Department of the Army.

This Guide is one of a series of finding aids describing those declassified seized German records deposited at the -MiHrtary Records Branch,Federal Records Center, Region 3, General Services Administration, that have been microfilmed by the Microfilming Project of the American Com-mittee for the Study of War Documents (now the Committee for the Study of War Documents of the American Historical Association). The Guide con-tains the text of data sheets identifying records filmed. A copy of the data sheet has been filmed as a target sheet at the beginning of eachroll of film.

This Guide covers 7 rolls of film of records of the Oberbauleitung Schwaben of the Organisation Todt. All the records of the OrganisationTodt available in the Military Records Branch were filmed without any omissions.

The terns "Serial" and "Roll" in this Guide refer to the sequence of the film. The "Item" number is the identification symbol on theoriginal folder within the captured records collection. "Provenance" indicates, where ascertainable, the archival origin of the documents whosedescription follows. The symbol "FT" means that the folder has been filmed throughout, the symbol "FS" denotes that the folder has been filmedselectively. "1st Frame" gives the frame number of the first page of the iblder. Every exposure has been given a frame number consecutivelythroughout the filming operation. The "Notes" provide a general idea of the nature of the materials but should be taken as hints, not completedescriptions. When the German file number could be ascertained, it has been included. The nature of the records filmed makes it necessary forresearchers to check the whole guide since no index has been prepared.

The original records of the Organisation Todt are located in the Military Records Branch, Federal Records Center, Region 3, General Ser-vices Administration, under Record Group 1015. The microfilms are deposited in the National Archives, Washington 25, D C . , as microcopyHo. T 76 and should be requested by adding to "T 76" the roll numbers.
