AVAILABILITY: Only one copy of this card file index exists. It must be used in the Newspaper/Microcopy Division of the General LIbrary, University of California, Berkeley. |
SCOPE OF INDEX: The index was an in-house effort compiled over a period of time and was abandoned when the Wall Street Journal began its own published index. It covers the first three lead articles on the front page of each issue from 1931 to 1956, and it is thought that 1956 may not be complete. It is arranged by subject headings modelled chiefly after those used in Business Periodicals Index, with some support from PAIS headings. |
FORMAT OF INDEX: A 3x5 card file index in a single dictionary arrangement, subarranged by date. Entries consist of the primary and secondary headlines of the articles followed by citation that include an abbreviation for the newspaper, the day, month, year, page and column. A notebook containing the subject headings used in the file supplements the twelve storage boxes of cards. The index cards have been typed, with subject heading in red and entries in black. |
SIZE OF INDEX: There are about 12,000 entries. |
