Washington DC: United States, General Services Administration, National Archives and Records Service, The National Archives, 1950. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. v, [1], 67, [1] pages. Cover has some wear, soiling, and creasing. Rare surviving copy. Inferior reproduction at one time was available via print on demand. In the summer of 1950 the Archivist of the United States approved plans for the microphotographic reproduction of selected records in his custody, the retention by the National Archives of a file of the negative microfilm, and the sale, at cost, of positive prints made from these "file microcopies." The purposes of the program have been to make valuable archival sources available to investigators at a distance from Washington and to provide insurance against loss of valuable information in records in the event that the records themselves should be destroyed. At no time has the comprehensive development of the program been possible, however, and most of the file microcopies so far produced have had their origin in particular reference-service requests. Nevertheless, 3,478 rolls of 35-mm master negatives containing reproductions of more than 2 million pages, were completed by June 30, 1950 and those rolls are listed in this publication. This descriptive lists supersedes the List of File Microcopies published by the National Archives in 1947. The list is arranged, as shown in the table of contents, for the most part according to the organization of the government. Within each major unit the file microcopies are arranged by record group. The group containing the "General Records" of a department are listed first, and other record groups are arranged by the beginning date of the records in the microcopies. The compiler was Director of Exhibits and Publications. More

He was a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize and was a columnist for The New York Times. He is credited with creating the field of legal journalism in the United States. Early in Lewis' career as a legal journalist, Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter told an editor of The New York Times: "I can't believe what this young man achieved. There are not two justices of this court who have such a grasp of these cases." He wrote a series of articles on the case of Abraham Chasanow, a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy, who had been dismissed on the basis of allegations by anonymous informers that he associated with subversives. The series won Lewis a Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 1955. Lewis won a second Pulitzer Prize in 1963 for his coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court. The citation singled out his coverage of the court's reasoning in Baker v. Carr, a Supreme Court decision which held that federal courts could exercise authority over legislative redistricting on the part of the states, and the decision's impact on specific states. During a newspaper strike, Lewis wrote Gideon's Trumpet, the story of Clarence Earl Gideon, the plaintiff in Gideon v. Wainwright, the 1963 case in which the Supreme Court held that states were required to provide counsel for indigent defendants charged with serious crimes. More
