A large portion of the material consists of Office of Naval Records and Library and Naval History Division correspondence, forwarding the results of research in archival and published materials. Intermixed with these letters are numerous historic documents and manuscripts (both originals and copies) that were acquired from a variety of sources. Original and photocopied documents and journal articles continue to be added to these files).
