Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Arrangement

The Administrative series has been arranged into three groupings by form, correspondence, conference materials, and subject files. Correspondence appears first and is arranged chronologically with the exception of the correspondence of Philip K. Hitti, which is filed separately. Records pertaining to conferences are grouped together by conference. Subject files are arranged alphabetically with general files on miscellaneous topics appearing at the beginning of the run.
