Arrangement:
These records include one large accession, 2002/112, that arrived in exceptionally poor order. In the hope of preserving what little original order and context survived the transfer of those records, the files of that accession have been left in the physical order in which they arrived, but they have been roughly intellectually, perhaps artificially, organized into loose series. The researcher should review each of the series listings to ensure that they have identified all relevant files. The entire records are organized into eleven series:The records are organized into the following series: Board of Trustees and Advisory Committee meeting materials, 1947-2022, 38.33 cubic ft., (including 8 microfilms) 15.5 MB (35 files); Board of Trustees correspondence, 1966-1996, 1.5 cubic ft.; Agency correspondence, 1942-2014, undated, 29.25 cubic ft.; Reports, 1956, 1973-2014, undated, 2.5 cubic ft., 444 KB (4 files); Project files, 1970-1984, 1990-1993, undated, 2.25 cubic ft.; Legislative records, 1947-1981, 1984, 1986-1988, undated, 4.5 cubic ft.; Financial records, 1969-1994, undated, 2.25 cubic ft.; Organization charts, 1985-2009, 2015-2019, undated, 0.50 cubic ft.; Rules and regulations, 1974-1985, 2005-2019, undated, 0.95 cubic ft.; Press releases and publications, 1960, 1963, 1973-1999, 2004-2005, 0.25 cubic ft.; Surveys, 1975-1980, 1982, 1989, 1994, 2006, 2012, 0.5 cubic ft.
