Verwaltungsgeschichte
Before 1870 the records that later became the central files of the Department of State were maintained by the bureaus and offices that produced or accumulated them. In 1870 a reorganization of the Department gave the Chief Clerk's Bureau custody of the archives and rolls and the task of indexing the Department's records as they accumulated. The departmental organization was again modified in 1872 (formally accomplished by an act of Mar. 3, 1873; 17 Stat. 485), and the recordkeeping duties of the Chief Clerk's Bureau were transferred to the Bureau of Indexes and Archives.
The three main groupings of the Department's records that had been established by its bureaus and offices before 1870 were Diplomatic Correspondence, Consular Correspondence, and Miscellaneous Correspondence. They were continued as the central files and were maintained by the Bureau of Indexes and Archives until 1906, when an entirely new system of recordkeeping was introduced.
Bestandsgeschichte
Eingrenzung und Inhalt
The collection includes reports of the Department of State from U.S. consular representatives in Montreal. The despatches are replies to consular instructions. It contains reports on a wide range of subjects dealing with economic, political, and social conditions abroad in addition to routine matters. Despatches are sometimes accompanied by enclosures, such as copies of correspondence between consuls and local Government officials, U.S. diplomatic representatives, other consuls, U.S. naval officers commanding naval vessels or squadrons stationed in foreign waters, and U.S. citizens abroad. Despatches also include information on commercial and other regulations, navigation law, exports and imports, duties and tariffs, censuses, cases of U.S. citizens tried abrad and appeals for help, and the reaction of foreign people to U.S. policies.
