To search for annual reports for 1824-1941:
(the latter date is changing as Readex continues to digitize volumes)
- Go to Research
Databases at the Libraries home page
- at "enter database name", type in "serial set" and click on the link to
the U.S. Congressional Serial Set provided
- click on the Publication Category tab, then click on Annual Reports
- Browse within annual reports until you find "U.S. War Department. Engineer
Department" (click on "more"--U.S. War Department. Engineer Department is
near the bottom of the long list). Click on the document which has the date
for which you would like an annual report.
- Annual reports were often published as part of the President's annual
State of the Union materials. It may be hard to identify an annual report
as a distinct chapter within these materials. To start your search, click
on full citation and scroll down to see if there are Contents
Notes. Not all of the documents will have them but, if there are contents
notes, look to see if there is a report from either the Engineer or the
War Department. If there is a report listed, there should be a page number
noted. Go to to the bar on the left, find the page number and click on it.
Whether or not there are content notes to verify the presence of an annual
report, it is possible to search out an annual report contained in the State
of the Union materials. In both cases, type the word "engineer" in the search
box at the top of the page. The pages which have references to the Engineer
Department will now be in bold when you look at the side bar and the word
engineer, where it exists, will be highlighted on every page you look at.
An annual report is most likely found where there are clumps of pages listed
having references to "engineer". If there are no contents notes verifying
the presence of an annual report, these groups of pages will be the best
lead to an annual report.
