The condition of the Government archives. the
fact that they are distributed hit OF miss
through the various departments. that they
have never been assorted, cataiOgued or edited.
that they are inaccessible to the student and
historian, has been frequently commented upon
in this column No one who has not tried TO
study some historical subject from the original
manuscripts relating to it can properly ap-
preciate the difficulties in the way Of the his
torian, or in what a sad state documents the
value of which cannot be calculated are al
lowed to remain. It seems 10 be a case Of what
is every bo6y's business is nobodys business. and
all propositions regarding q reform in this mat
ter come TO nothing, and so far with the ex-
ception Of the military records, no provision has
been made by law for preserving the State
archives or for arranging them So that they may
be easily accessible although several attempts
have been made in this direction
As long ago as 1887 Commission composed
Of the Secretary of State. the Librarian of Con
gress, the secretary Of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion and their successors in office was appointed
ard directed to report TO Congress as to the
character Of the historical manuscripts belong
ing TO the Government, and if it was deemed
wise and practical to edit and publish them
the Commission was requested 10 suggest q
method and policy 10 be pursued This Com
mission did nothing. 1t is not recorded that it
ever had a meeting. At all events, it made no
report to Congress
IN 1884 Congress made another move in the
right direction by ordering that the military
records in the various departments regarding
the field operations during the Revolutionary
War and the War of 1912 be transferred TO the
care Of the Secretary OF War. BY this same act
the Secretary Of State was directed 70 have the
Revolutionary archives in his department eX-
amined and 10 report TO Congress what portions
of them were worthy Of publication. the number
of printed volumes they would make and the
estimated cost Of printing and publishing them
II response TO this order the Secretary Of State
submitted report but so far Congress has
done nothing in regard 10 II.
Recently, however, the Librarian Of Congress
in cooperation with the American Historical
Association, has taken hold Of the matter, and
is gathering data relating to the character and
/ condition Of the archives and public records OF
the United States and the several States and
Territories 1t is hoped and believed that some
thing viii come Of this work for Mr.. Putnam is
