Reel labeled W-6 has not been inventoried. Lik~ Reels W-1 through W-5, it contains materials pertaining to the state of Washington. Reel W-6 supplements the auove reels in thab the first part of it contains material that was not filmed in 1964 when Reels W-1 through W-5 were made(ACLU volumes numbered 24, 226, 448, ·615D). Th• last part of the reel.Al (ACLU volumes numbered 2052, 2058, 2249, 2345, 2428, 2538, 2629, 2762) continues from the end of Reel W-5 and;:covers the years 1938 through 1946.

Reel labeled 0-1 (Oregon) has been fully inventoried. See inventory t2u/ .P7 on file in Manuscripts sections of the library for cataloging information. l'J~n/ #-f Reel labeled 0-2 (Oregon) has not been inventoried. It continues from ,...,..,.., the end of Reel 0-1 and covers the years 1937 through 1946 (ACLU volumes numbered 1056. 2049, 2345, 2428, 2538, 2629, 2709, 2762).

I}_ ) t'I ..,.- JO Ree ls labeled I & M-1 and I & M-2 ( Idaho and Montana) have not ·been aae I inventoried. The years covered are 191i/18 through 1943. (ACLU volumes numbered I-20, I-31, M-34, I-180, I-258, I-273, M-843, I-932, N941, I-1038, M-1069, I-2227, M-2237, I-2325, M-2335, I-2408, M-2416, I-2523*). * * * * The Weekly Reports of the ACLU for the years~- 1920-1921 (ACLU volume 151) and 1923 (ACLU volume 229) were also filmed. These publications relate to the entire United States. They are probably to be found on one of the uninventoried reels (most likely either I&M-2 or W-6).

It should also be noted that these microfilms do not represent all of the material-to be found in the ACLU Papers relating to these states. In many cases the papers were so fragile that Princeton University Library would not permit them to be microfilmed because the handling required was too destructive. A complete set of microfilms of the ACLU Papers is in the New York Public Library, and positives can be obtained from that source. The undarsigned can provide more complete information for the identification of this material.

*Because the paper~._r,Jating to Montana and Idaho have been intermixed on these reels, the pre~ "I" or "M" have been added to the ACLU volume number to indicate which state is represented therein.
