The Office Files (1932-2015) originally contained all documents other than the minutes, including all committee and officer reports, and all miscellaneous documents. The distinction between the two files, however, slowly began to break down. Increasingly documents related to the minutes, such as reports and documents related to items on the agenda, were filed with the minutes, while copies of the minutes found their way into the office files. By the 1970s the distinction between the two files had become largely artificial. The Office Files also includes docuemntation, annotated meeting notes, annual reports, some collected research, and office-specific correspondence from 1970 through 2015.
