Description
The Garfield Papers consist of diaries, correspondence, letter press copy books, military correspondence, speeches, articles, public statements, notes, memoranda, law cases, college notebooks, miscellany, memorials, commissions, and several bound newspapers.
The papers are divided into twenty series, the bulk of which are arranged chronologically.
The Index to the James A. Garfield Papers lists documents in the collection by proper name, date and series. The Index arranges items primarily by correspondent and then chronologically if a name is repeated. Some subject entries are used. The Reel List in the front of the Index indicates on which reel a particular series, date or other information can be found. In order to retrieve material, one should consult the Index first and then the Reel List for the appropriate reel number.
