Historique
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.
