Subseries I.2: Personal Names, 1890-1971

Scope and content:

Subseries consisting of records to, from, or about a person filed under the person's name. This is the only portion of Central Files that contains detailed descriptions of the contents of files. If a desired personal name does not appear in this sub-series, or if the name is found but the time period of interest falls outside the date range given for the folder, it may still be possible to find relevant materials in Series I.1 General Alphabetical, through the use of the Central Files card index, or by confining the search to a very specific date range.
