They were rearranged and a new shelf list prepared. About 8,000
folders of the original papers of the Adjutant General were labelled,
but much remains to be done before they are finished.

Church Records. All of the church records have been moved from
their various locations in the Stacks and placed in one alcove on the
second deck. A shelf list has been typed and placed with them.
