a guide - The George C. Marshall Foundation

. Those of Other than Marshall
There are eighteen entries in the speeches and statements by
others than Marshall.
5. ENGAGEMENT, VISITOR, AND
CORRESPONDENT RECORDS
These include: a. addresses; b. engagement books; c. logs
of engagements; d. visitor and telephone calls; e. lists of official
and out-of-town engagements; f. social engagement lists;
and g. miscellaneous notes regarding engagements. The addresses
are arranged alphabetically; all others of these subseries
are arranged chronologically. Most of these subseries are
straightforward, but two of them require explanation. The
addresses are made up, for the most part, of a name-andaddress-card
file. Information on the cards includes the names,
addresses, and telephone numbers of correspondents. The
form of salutation used in corresponding is also given, as are
the dates on which each person met with Secretary Marshall.
Some entries found in this card file are from a time after
Marshall left the Defense Department; Colonel George continued
to maintain this file after Marshall's retirement. (Eventually,
he made a new address card file which is found in the
RETIREMENT subgroup.) There are three logs under the
logs of engagements, visitors, and telephone calls; each was
apparently kept by a different member of the Secretary of
Defense's staff. For any given day, the logs sometimes record
different information, and sometimes the same information in
a different way. Some entries and some logs are more exhaustive
than others.
6. FINANCIAL RECORDS
The financial records consist of one folder of checking
account statements, and lists of expenditures by aides.
7. SCRAPBOOKS AND SCRAPBOOK MATERIALS
This series includes a group of newspaper clippings and
captioned photographs concerning Marshall's visit to the city
of New York, Office of Civil Defense. There is also a set of
seven large scrapbooks containing newspaper clippings and
photographs. These books were meticulously assembled by
members of the Secretary of Defense's staff. These scrapbooks
document the way the press viewed Marshall's term as Secretary
of Defense, by bringing together a broad range of journalistic
opinion in the form of newspaper clippings, news
