A general index to the Southwestern National Monuments monthly reports that are held at WACC (Western Archeological and Conservation Center). This collection is a general index to the Southwestern National Monuments (SWNM) Monthly Reports. Monthly Reports (or rather the ones in our possession at WACC) begin in 1918 but they initially cover only Casa Grande National Monument. This holds true for the years 1918 – 1922. *WACC does not possess any materials for the year 1923. Beginning in 1924, the Monthly Reports cover all existing Southwestern National Monuments and also sites that eventually become Monuments. Reports for the years 1918 – 1930 (excluding 1923) are unbound and were placed in folders by year (filed in ascending monthly order within the folders). 1931 and 1932 are bound together in one volume. Beginning with 1933, the reports are primarily bound in two volumes for each year, with one covering January through June and the other covering July through December, although a few are bound in one volume for the year (January – December). Initially, these reports were written solely by Frank “Boss” Pinkley, then Custodian of Casa Grande National Monument and also overseer of future Monuments. “Boss” Pinkley became Superintendent of the Southwestern National Monuments in November 1923; then Custodians of individual Monuments (under Pinkley’s supervision) reported on their respective Monuments in these monthly reports
