The WHCF Name File served two purposes. It was used to file routine materials which were not classified by subject and it was also used as a cross reference or finding aid to material filed in the Subject File, indexing not only correspondents but also names mentioned in documents. Material is filed alphabetically by name of the individual, company, or organization. Where names (e.g., Federal agencies or officials) have been assigned a Subject File file code, cross references were not made to this file. Note: The container list shows only names for which there currently are separate folders, thousands of additional names appear in the collection. Researchers should feel free to request searches under any names in which they are interested.
