[For more information about these electronic records files, or to obtain copies of them, contact the Center for Electronic Records, National Archives at College Park, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740. Telephone: 301- 713-6645 Email: cer@nara.gov]

A.1 These 84 studies comprise 275 electronic records files (137 of electronic documentation and 138 of survey data). They are presented in order by original survey number (which is approximately chronological according to when they were conducted). In the table, some geographic areas are represented by codes as follows:

    1. centPac for Central Pacific
    2. ETO for European Theater of Operations
    3. IB for India-Burma
    4. soPAc for Southern Pacific
    5. swPac for Southwest Pacific
    6. US for United States
See paragraphs III.1-III.4 above for further information on these records.

A.2 The survey topics listed are not invariably those by which each particular study originally was known in ARB, but are modified in some cases to convey more information about content than did the original title. In any case the survey number is the key to matching information in the electronic records with the corresponding information on the survey in the published record, the reports, or the documentation in record groups other than RG 330.
