310 selected and described items from 5 volumes, 1857-1909

The RG 84 series (US-NARA) includes the rapatriated records from US embassies and consulates around the world. It is mainly constitutes of correspondence.
For the period between 1856 and 1935, we can find 261 volumes. It is both sent correspondence (copies or minutes) and received correspondence (the received letters are stuck together to form registers).
Most of these registers date back to the 1912-1935 period (160 volumes).
The selected items come from Volume 22 (Years 1857 to 1870), Volume 47A (Years 1871 to 1886), Volume 47B (Years 1886 to 1896), Volume 47C (Years 1897 to 1908) and Volume 47D (Years 1904 to 1909).

The 261 volumes go from n°1 to n°237 because 23 registers are assigned the same number but with a letter (.A, .B, .C) or a volume number (.1, .2, .3).

The folder RG84, located in the NARA inventory room, provides a 5 pages list of the RG84 261 volumes.
