Index to Correspondents
The following index includes some (not all) of the correspondents in thiscollection. Not every letter of the persons listed is neccesarily noted.Selma Borchardt, who because of her position is responsible for apreponderant amount of the correspondence, is omitted from this index. Someof the correspondence consists of copies of letters sent to third parties-persons other than Miss Borchardt. Such letters are indexed, but at all timesthe names listed refer to the persons who wrote the letters.Many of the letters indexed are mimeographed or are important form letterswhich were mailed to Miss Borchardt from other offices of the AmericanFederation of Teachers. Since the national office was decentralized andcoordinated by the Secretary-Treasurer in Chicago and much of the realbusiness was transacted in Washington, Miss Borchardt received many suchletters. Since many of the letters indexed do not contain actual handwrittensignatures, some may be copies or some may be drafts written by Miss Borchardtfor the signature of the person listed in the index.
The index is arranged alphabetically by surnames of correspondents. Becausethis collection covers such a long time period (1922-1962), the dates (yearonly) of the letters appear in the index. The first number signifies the boxnumber. The number after the colon indicates the folder in which the lettersare located. In cases where there are preponderant amounts of correspondencein several folders which list the name of persons indexed, the box is listedafter the title of his position. For example J. W. Crabtree was MembershipSecretary of the World Federation of Teachers Associations, and many of hisletters are in box 32 in folders labeled Crabreee, J. W. and in box 38 infolders labeled Monroe-Crabtree. In such cases these box numbers appear in theindex directly after the title of his position. In cases where there areletters from persons indexed in three or more consecutive folders which arelisted by date or some other title, the word "to" is inserted between thefirst and last folder entries in the index. For example, there are letterswritten by Mr. Crabtree in box 35 in folders 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20.This fact is listed in the index as 35:14 to 35:20.
