Arrangement of the Materials
The records are arranged into the following series:
- Brewery Records (Milwaukee,
Wis.): Arranged alphabetically by type of record, then chronologically.
- Bottling Plant: Arranged
alphabetically by type of record, then chronologically. Two volumes from unknown cities
are filed in this series using the term "Unknown Location" following the type of record.
The receipts and invoices section is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
- Branch Operations: Arranged
alphabetically by location of the branch or depot, then alphabetically by the type of
record, and then chronologically. Within these records, there are unbound files containing
branch information. These unbound files were apparently taken apart by the Blatz Brewing
Company and were placed in large ledgers in an inconsistent manner. During processing,
these files were removed and reorganized into their original order. The second accession,
donated by John Steiner in 1998, was added to this series.
- Miscellaneous Records (Milwaukee,
Wis.): Arranged alphabetically by the creator of the record, then alphabetically
by the type of record, and then chronologically.
Notes indicate whether or not individual volumes have an index. Only ledgers have indexes.
The term indexed refers an index that is located within the volume. If the index has the
letter A after it, it is a separate index volume that is located with the ledger.
