Call number: Microfilm A254 Guide: FBI File on the National Negro CongressCall number: E185.61.F35 1987
Note: 2 reel 35 mm. microfilm
Description: The National Negro Congress was founded in 1935 by religious, labor, civic, and fraternal leaders interested in opposing racial discrimination in this country, the deportation of foreign-born Blacks, and fostering improved relations with Blacks around the world. At the first meeting, A. Philip Randolph was elected president and John P. Davis the executive secretary. Although members of the Communist Party were involved from the start, it wasn't until 1940 that they became dominant. At that time national leaders like Randolph and Ralph Bunche left the organization and membership declined. The Communist connections of some of the NNC leaders and its attempts to unite African American labor organizations led to FBI surveillance from the 1930s to the 1950s.
The documents reproduced here were drawn form the Washington files of the FBI and have been released under the Freedom of Information Act. Some documents have been deleted or information blacked out following the provisions of the Act. The file contains news reports relating to the NNC, announcements of meetings, copies of its constitution and membership rosters, and various FBI investigative reports. Roll notes are reproduced at the beginning of each reel.

Call number: Microfilm A255Guide: FBI File on the Reverend Jesse Jackson
Call number: E840.8.J35G8 1988
Note: 1 reel 35 mm. microfilm
Description: The FBI file on Reverend Jesse Jackson begins in January 1967. Jackson was a young follower of Martin Luther King, Jr., head of the Chicago-based Operation Breadbasket, and an opponent of the war in Vietnam. The surveillance of Jackson and various Chicago based civil rights organizations finally was stopped in the early 1980s by a class-action suit. By then Jackson was a presidential candidate. The FBI files contain surveillance reports and associated investigation memoranda. The reports indicate the wide range of opinions on Jackson held by different groups both inside and outside the government. For example, Jackson was named one of the ten outstanding men of the year in 1969 by the US Jaycees. In 1971, the FBI tried to connect Jackson to the Black Panther Party based on his support for Angela Davis. In 1981, Jackson was investigated for possible violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act after the CIA alleged that he was a foreign agent of Libya. The documents were released under the Freedom of Information Act, and certain documents or portions of documents were deleted by the FBI following provisions of the Act. The legibility of some documents is poor.

He abandoned the group's early insistence on nonviolence and popularized the concept of Black Power. The FBI initially was interested in SNCC because of a concern that Communists were infiltrating the SNCC's leadership. As SNCC developed, the investigation centered on racial matters, and the FBI believed that the incendiary statements of Carmichael and H. Rap Brown were responsible for the urban riots of the time. The file is comprised of reports only. The reports vary in that they include, some including pamphlets and newspaper clippings, and come from nineteen different cities, including Atlanta, the SNCC national headquarters, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, New York, and San Francisco. Each section is arranged in chronological order, with reports dating from 1964 to 1973. Some information on related organizations is included: Nation of Islam, Black Panthers, Young Socialists, Revolutionary Action Movement, Students for a Democratic Society.

Description: Robert Winslow Gordon (1888-1961) was an important writer and scholar of American folklore and folksong. His ambition was to collect, organize, and preserve folksongs from as many parts of the country and genres as possible. He founded and directed the Archive of American Folk-Song at the Library of Congress from 1928 until 1932. From 1923 to 1927 Gordon wrote a column entitled, Old Songs That Men Have Sung, for the magazine Adventure. Gordon asked his readers to send in outdoor folksongs. In the four year period he edited the column over 4,000 people sent in more than 10,000 folksong texts.
The Gordon collection consists largely of Gordon's Adventure correspondence and spans the years 1922 to 1933. It also includes correspondence of the previous editor of Old Songs, Robert Frothingham; several songsters, broadsides, and recitations collected by Gordon; folksong texts in manuscript, typescript, carbon copy or photostat sent to Gordon by other folklorists or informants (many of these are arranged by correspondents); Gordon's field notebooks, business materials and newspaper clippings; and manuscript and typescript song texts from Robert Gordon's field work in California, Georgia, and North Carolina.
The entire range of folksongs is represented, including mountaineer tunes, Black spirituals, slave songs, sea chanties, and western and ranch tunes. Of special note is Gordon's Inferno Collection, a group of bawdy folksong lyrics.

Following the evacuation of Norfolk, Cloe was sent to South Carolina to live with her sisters. After the fall of Charleston, she returned to Norfolk. She records the fall of Richmond, Lee's surrender, and the conditions of the slaves on plantations. She accompanied her lawyer father when he visited Jefferson Davis in prison after the War. She also records meeting Robert E. Lee and General Curtis Lee. After the War, she writes of social and church activities, her courtship and marriage to John Greene, moving to Ireland for a few years, and her return with her husband to the United States where her only daughter was born. She continued keeping a diary until shortly before her death in 1924. The 1855 diary of her sister, Grace Latimer Whittle, is also included in the collection.

Call number: Microfilm D298Guide: Historic American Building Survey. Catalog of the Measured Drawings and Photographs
Call number: NA707.H45
Note: 63 reels 35 mm. microfilm. Originals are in the Library of Congress.
Description: A division of the National Parks Service, the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) began in 1933 to create a permanent graphic record of American architecture through field research, photography, and scale drawings. The over 34,000 drawings are reproduced in this microform collection. While some drawings are available for all states, the Canal Zone, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, some states or areas are represented by very few drawings (e.g., Hawaii has only one). All types of American architecture are represented (homes, mansions, schools, places of business, etc.). More than one drawing for each building are usually included, and frequently building details (stairs, fences, mouldings) are given. The drawings are particularly important as a record of the many buildings that have since been destroyed.
Most of the drawings are first organized by state or area and then by city or locale. The arrangement of the drawings on the film is not always clear, since the name of the county often does not appear on the drawings and drawings for areas that are now incoporated into large areas (Germantown into Philadelphia) are filmed with that city even though the former name appears on the drawing. A guide listing the Pennsylvania drawings in the order that they appear on the film is available (Reel guide and index to the Pennsylvania Drawings ...). Other guides are available for cities or states (e.g. Philadelphia Preserved: Catalog of the Historic American Building Survey.

He was involved in almost every northern operation during the War. He is credited with the first move in 1779 to establish a military academy at West Point, and helped found the Society of Cincinnati, an organization of former Revolutionary War officers. Knox was chosen Secretary of War by the Continental Congress in 1785, a post he also held in Washington's cabinet under the new constitution. He was a close friend and advisor of Washington. Both before and after his appointment as Secretary of War, Knox was involved in negotiations with various Native American tribes.
Congress rejected his proposal for the creation of a national militia. After he resigned from the cabinet at the end of 1794, he settled in Maine, where he was involved in land speculation and politics. The Henry Knox papers are important for the insight they provide into the Revolution, the adoption of the Constitution, and the organization and establishment of the national government.

Correspondence with Henry Jackson, a childhood friend, gives information about life in Boston during Knox's childhood.
