[2], 18 pages[printed on one side only], plus covers. Footnotes. Stapled twice on left side. Cover has some wear and soiling. This annotated checklist described unpublished histories found primarily in the "z" (or "history") segment of the Subject File of the Naval Records Collections of the Office of Naval Records and Library (Record Group 45), located in the U.S. National Archives. A few associated items located in other segments of the Subject File, or held in the Operational Archives of the Naval History Division, are also described. Most of the histories related to the U.S. Navy during the World War I period, but some additional topics during the 1911-1927 period are also covered. The Naval History and Heritage Command, formerly the Naval Historical Center, is an Echelon II command responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage located at the historic Washington Navy Yard. The NHHC is composed of 42 facilities in 13 geographic locations including the Navy Department Library, 10 museums and 1 heritage center, USS Constitution repair facility and detachment, and historic ship ex-USS Nautilus. The Naval History and Heritage Command traces its lineage to 1800, when President John Adams requested Benjamin Stoddert, the first Secretary of the Navy, prepare a catalog of professional books for use in the Secretary's office. When the British invaded Washington in 1814 this collection, containing the finest works on naval history from America and abroad, was rushed to safety outside the Federal City. Thereafter the library had many locations, including a specially designed space in the State, War, and Navy Building (now the Indian Treaty Room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building) next to the White House. When the library was placed under the Bureau of Navigation in 1882, the director, noted international lawyer and U.S. Naval Academy professor James R. Soley, gathered the rare books scattered throughout Navy Department offices.…
