EDITORIAL NOTE Part 1 of the Papers of the Nixon White Housecollects in one publication the finding aids to all of the Nixon presidential files that are currently opened to the public. These official inventories provide an excellent introduction and overview to the millions of pages of newly released documents from the Nixon Presidential Materials Project. The Nixon Presidential Materials Project, a part of the National Archives and Records Administration's Office of Presidential Libraries, is the custodian of the historical materials of the Nixon administration. The holdings include the textual records (approximately 40 million pages), the audiovisual records (500,000 photographs, 4,000 videotapes, 4,400 audiotapes, 950 White House tapes, and 1 million feet of motion picture film), and more than 30,000 gift items. (See Appendix I for the complete list of textual materials held by the Nixon Project.) University Publications of America (UPA) has reproduced in this microfiche publication all of the official inventories to the textual records that were available for public research by October 1987. The Nixon Project has opened approximately 1,200 cubic feet of textual materials for research to date. The open materials consist of the entire White House Special Files and segments from the White House Central Files.
