Summary:
This series consists of a card file index divided into two complete alphabetical sections (A-Z) that are apparently part of an unidentified main index or cross reference file from the Barge Canal period. The file appears to refer to subject files kept by the Department of Public Works. Subjects include canals; construction and maintenance projects; personnel; meetings; monitoring data; civil service matters; boundaries and blue lines; canal structures of all kinds; contracts; companies; and names of (presumed) correspondents.
