The Employee Account records series is organized into seven subseries. The Case Name File subseries, 1930-1944 (6 cubic ft.), contains files about employees who received assistance from the Sociological Department. The files are divided into two subsubseries: Active and Inactive Accounts. An employee file may include departmental communications, correspondence regarding delinquent bills, tax statments, receipts, land titles, deeds, insurance policies, land contracts or wage deduction forms.
