The series indexes portions of three series: 1) Appointment Correspondence Files (series A0612), indexing files of governors Charles Evans Hughes (1907-1910), Horace White (1910), John A. Dix (1911-1912), Martin H. Glynn (1913-1914), Charles S. Whitman (1915-1918), and Nathan L. Miller (1921-1922); 2) Central Subject and Correspondence Files (series 13682), indexing files of Governor Alfred E. Smith (1919-1920, 1923-1928); and 3) Investigation Case Files of Charges and Complaints Against Public Officials and Agencies (series A0531), indexing case files from about 1907-1920.

Each index card provides: name of the correspondent and/or the subject of the correspondence; name of the governor and/or the years of his administration; and file code number of the file in which the indexed item is located.
