FBI Records Overview

A. A Brief History of the FBI and ItsRecords

The mission of the FBI is to protect anddefend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligencethreats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the UnitedStates, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services tofederal, state, municipal, and international agencies andpartners.

The scope of the FBI's responsibilities iswide, covering investigations into domestic and internationalterrorism, foreign counterintelligence, cyber crime, publiccorruption, civil rights violations, white-collar and organizedcrime, violent crime and kidnapping, and other diverse crimes. TheBureau's records detail these responsibilities and the FBI'sperformance in meeting its mission over the years.

The FBI originated from a force of specialagents created in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in 1908 byAttorney General Charles Bonaparte. In 1909, this investigativeservice became known as the Bureau of Investigation (BOI). In 1935,it was re-named the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI.

In its early years, the FBI experimented withseveral different record-keeping systems.1 The first, establishedat its creation, consisted of straight numerical cases1 to 42,975.This file was later renamed the Miscellaneous File and wasdiscontinued in 1922. It was supplemented by several other files.One encompassed records amassed during the Bureau's investigationsrelated to a 1910 anti-prostitution measure known as the Mann Act.These files were later destroyed. Another file dealt largely withNeutrality Act investigations and was called the Old Mexican File,since most of these matters had to do with attempts to overthrowthe Mexican government. The third file was called the Old GermanFile and dealt with espionage, sabotage, and subversioninvestigations arising out of World War I. The Miscellaneous, OldMexican, and Old German Files are available in multiple locationsand on microfilm or digitally from commercial entities.

In early 1920, the Bureau experimented with asource file system, where documents were organized chronologicallybased on the office in which they were produced. This approach wasquickly abandoned as unworkable. These files are known as BureauSection Files, and like those of the Bureau's firstdecade-and-a-half, are available in microfilm or digital form. InSeptember 1920, the BOI and DOJ files were consolidated.
