"Each preliminary inventory (in the records program of the National Archives and Records Service) contains an introduction that briefly states the history and functions of the agency that created and accumulated the records. The records themselves are described series by series; that is, by groups of file units of the same type or form, or that deal with the same subject or activity, or that are arranged serially. These series, in turn, are generally listed under subgroup headings that indicate their immediate office of origin within an agency or, on occasion, the functions to which they relate. Other significant information about the records may sometimes be given in appendixes." This volume on the United States Military Academy includes records of the Office of Superintendent, 1838-1975; the Office of the Dean of the Academic Board, 1818-1976; the Department of Tactics, 1813-1975; the Deputy Chief of Staff, Personnel and Administration, 1800-1974; the Deputy Chief of Staff, Logistics, 1816-1975; the Deputy Chief of Staff, Comptroller, 1942-1962; the Special Staff, 1818-1976; Boards and Committees, 1819-1975; Discontinued Commands, 1877-1947; Troops Stationed at West Point, 1809-1941; Quasi-Official Academy Associations, 1869-1976; and Miscellaneous Post and Academy Records, 1839-1953.
