Note
This series consists of an alphabetic file of correspondence with historians and transportation companies, associations, museums, historical associations, government
agencies, publishers, model makers, ship builders, educational institutions, hobbyists, and others. A good part of the correspondence consists of routine public inquiries
about the history of transportation, the Smithsonian's holdings, and the availability of ship plans and photographs, but also included is correspondence on the making of models
for the collections, donation of objects, staff publications, technical questions of museum procedures, and scholarly historical questions. Intra-institution memoranda are
in Series 2, and correspondence with staff while they were away from the museum can be found in this series.
