Oak Ridge Operations Office SERIES TITLE Oak Ridge Contract Files INCLUSIVE DATES ca. 1943 ca. 1978 ARRANGEMENT Contract number VOLUME approximately 650 cubic feet DESCRIPTION This series consists of procurement files containing forms, reports, and correspondence associated with specific Oak Ridge-related contracts. The bulk of the files consist of routine financial and administrative materials relating to contract negotiation, awards, and financial accounting. The most substantive information is located in narrative statements included in project proposals, correspondence, and periodic reports, which are not always present in the files for each contract. The contracts relate to all areas of MED/AEC/DOE activities, including construction, manufacturing, administration, and research and development. Some human experimentation activities are detailed. The quantity and type of information varies among the files. For each contract file the volume of material ranges from a few pages to more than a cubic foot. There are significant gaps in the files, and it is not known where the missing files are located. An index to contractors is available.
