GUIDES TO GERMAN RECORDS MICROFILMED AT ALEXAIIDRIA, VA.
This is part of a series of guides prepared by the American Historical Association listing records microfilmed at Alexandria"by the
American Historical Association Microfilming Project.
An American Committee for the Study of the War Documents w*s established in 1955 as a private group of scholars interested in documentary
research and especially in the microfilming of records of foreign origin kept in American depositories. In 1956 the American Committee became
a committee 8£ the American Historical Association. Its present Chairman (195#) is Professor Oron J Hale, University of Virginia, who was pre-
t
ceded by Dean Reginald H. Phelps, %rvard University, and Professor Lynn H. Case of the University of Pennsylvania. An initial Ford Foundation
grant and additional funds provided by the Old Dominion Pcundati6n enabled the Committee to undertake the cataloguing and microfilming of declas-
sified German records in the custody of the World War IT Records Division of the National Archives (previously TAGC, Departmental Records Branch
t
more recently Military R cords Branch, Federal Records Center, P.egion 3 General Services Administration) at Alexandria, Virginia.
e t
The plans for screening and microfilming of these materials were prepared by a Subcommittee on Kicrof liming under the Chairmanship ttf the
end of 1956 of Professor E. Malcolm Carroll, Duke University, and his successor, Dr. Fritz T. Epstein. She-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 of
Dr. Dagmar Horna Perman.
The present guide is a collection of descriptions of records groups filmed by the Microfilming Project of the AHA, Committee. Because the
project 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 Records Division, the National Archives, and the U. 6*-Department -of the Army.
