They include textual material, cartographic material, motion pictures, and still picture prints and negatives. They were accessioned chiefly from the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, Department of the Interior, and are maintained as a subgroup within Record Group 126, Records of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions…The records described in this inventory include preliminary studies, drafts of reports, manuscripts and often complete but unpublished manuscripts, all of which are listed in an appendix. In addition, there are records of original observations and compilations of data that have not been fully exploited.
