Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The role of the Reconstruction Committee involved '...surveying and unravelling the whole tangle of governmental activities' introduced during World War I (1914 - 1918). It was established in early 1917 but by July 1918 had been disbanded, Webb reporting that its '...machinery was too rickety to survive'.
