The Connecticut State Library contains s a collection of Public Health circular letters sent out between 1941 – 1984. A circular letter is typically a formal or official written document or communication that is addressed to a group of individuals.

(Current circular letters may be found on the Department of Public Health website).

Please note that over time Bureau titles may have changed. For example in the 1941 volume there is a Bureau of Occupational Diseases but in later years it became the Bureau of Industrial Hygiene.

In 1941 there were eleven bureaus within the Department of Health:

Administration
Child Hygiene
Laboratories
Mental Hygiene
Occupational Diseases
Preventable Diseases
Public Health Instruction and Nutrition
Public Health Nursing
Sanitary Engineering
Venereal Diseases
Vital Statistics

Some of these bureaus also had Divisions. The volume for 1941 includes two content listing indices. The first index pages are listed by Department of Public Health circular number. This includes columns for Letter Number, Bureau, and Reference page.

Example: [Letter #] 43
[Bureau] Administration (Hairdressing)
[Reference Page ] 1-C

The second index pages are arranged by Bureaus. Columns on these pages include Addressee, Letter Number, and File Number. For example on the Administration (Hairdressing) reference page 1-C you would find:

Example: TO: School Owners re: changes in rules and regulations prescribed for schools for instruction in hairdressing

[ Letter No. ] 6 (The number 6 indicates a letter number assigned for use within the “Hairdressing” section)
[ File No.] 43 (The File number 43 is the original Circular number)

In addition the 1941 volume is divided into chapters including: Camps, Laboratories, Well Child conferences, etc. The reference pages will indicate the letter’s chapter or section. Such as Hairdressing for Letter #43.

This appears to be the pattern for the other volumes as well.

康涅狄格州图书馆藏有1941年至1984年间发出的公共卫生圆形信函集合。圆形信函通常是一种正式或官方的书面文件或通信，其面向一群个体。

（当前圆形信函可于公共卫生部门网站上找到）。

请注意，随着时间的推移，局名可能会有所变更。例如，在1941年的卷宗中，存在职业疾病局，但在后来的年份中，它演变为工业卫生局。

1941年，公共卫生部门内设有十一个局，包括：

- 行政局
- 儿童卫生局
- 实验室
- 精神卫生局
- 职业疾病局
- 预防性疾病局
- 公共卫生指导与营养局
- 公共卫生护理局
- 公共卫生工程局
- 性病局
- 生命统计局

其中一些局还设有处室。1941年的卷宗包括两个内容索引。第一个索引按公共卫生部门圆形信函编号排序。其中包括信件编号、局名和参考页码的栏目。

示例：

[信件编号] 43
[局名] 行政局（理发业）
[参考页码] 1-C

第二个索引按局名排序。这些页面上的栏目包括收件人、信件编号和文件编号。例如，在行政（理发业）参考页码1-C中，您会发现如下内容：

示例：

致：学校业主关于对学校理发业规定及法规的变更
[信件编号] 6（数字6表示分配给“理发业”部分的信件编号）
[文件编号] 43（文件编号43是原始圆形信函的编号）

此外，1941年的卷宗分为章节，包括：营地、实验室、健康儿童会议等。参考页码将指示信件的章节或部分。例如，对于信件编号43的理发业部分。

这似乎是其他卷宗的通用模式。
