Description
This collection includes the published and unpublished finding aids, i.e., registers, indexes and guides to documents (and their contents) in special collections in state archives, libraries, historical societies and universities. McKeldin Library does not hold the entire set of microfiche for academic libraries, but only those fiches that were added after the merger of parts 3 and 4.
The material is arranged by repository and assigned a three-part identification number, which appears at the top of each microfiche (e.g., 3.2.1). The first number of the three, refers to Part 3 of the National Inventory. The second number refers to a specific repository in Part 3, and the third number designates an individual finding aid in that repository.
