Holland hold an important See also:place, may be divided into: Federal, kept at See also:Washington; those in private collections; and See also:State Records at the various state capitals. The publication and care of all these are often the See also:work of private bodies subsidized or recognized by See also:government. Thus, although Federal archives are now centralized under the See also:charge of the See also:head of the See also:division of See also:Manuscripts in the Library of See also:Congress, which See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office is acquiring important collections of the papers of former presidents, and may also have transferred to it departmental records not in current use, publication of guides is the concern of the See also:historical See also:section of the See also:Carnegie Institution and of the Archives See also:Commission of the Historical Association. The same association explores private collections through its Historical Manuscripts Commission; and numerous See also:societies publish state records. Some states, however, have themselves published See also:American and See also:European documents See also:relating to their See also:history; and mention must be made of the large See also:series of American Archives and State Papers published from 1832 onwards by Congress.

The best See also:guide for Federal records is the work of See also:Leland and See also:Valentine; for a See also:general See also:bibliographical work of reference see E. C. See also:Burnett's See also:List of Printed Guides . . . (Historical See also:MSS. Commission See also:Report, 1897).
EXTRAVAGANTIA
In various ways records are See also:apt to wander from their proper custody and to lose their legal See also:character. But in spite of this loss the historian is See also:bound to pursue them either into the hands of private collectors or on to the shelves of some museum. No See also:attempt can be made to discuss private collections or the manuscripts of See also:foreign See also:libraries. Even among See also:English libraries it must be sufficient to mention the See also:British Museum as the See also:principal destination of wandering records. Of the collections in that library the most important to the student of records are the Cottonian, the Harleian and the See also:Lansdowne, all catalogued by the See also:Record Commission; the Additional, catalogued from See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

The whole collection is divided technically into Manuscripts, by which are meant volumes, and Charters and Rolls, meaning detached documents. To the latter class an See also:Index locorum, compiled by H. F. See also:Ellis and F. B. Bickley, has been printed. (C. G.
