Description

The ONRL was established in the Office of the Secretary of the Navy by an omnibus appropriation act (38 Stat. 1025), March 4, 1915. It was abolished by merger with the Office of Naval History, March 10, 1949, pursuant to instructions from the Chief of Naval Operations. Among other documents, different types of Navy logs and logbooks are available for research in the records of the Naval Records Collection of the Office of Naval Records and Library (RG 45): some were extracted in 1969 by Paul Woodward, of the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program, for research purposes (Cf. SIA Acc. 83-126).
