The CIVIL warS
The CIVIL warS Administrative files include correspondence and other materials related to technical matters, production details, printed materials, etc beyond contracts and budgetary files. Users should also note that an attempt has been made to group the materials by production, but this has not always been possible becouse of problems of identification and some attempt has been made to preserve the integrity of the arrangement of the materials as they were at the Byrd Hoffman Foundation and at Art Service International.
