SANTA CRUZ COUNTY RECORDS INVENTORY, 1977 – 1978
Three (3) Boxes
Series Scope and Content Summary
The Santa Cruz County Historical Records Commission conducted an inventory of county governmental records pertinent to the history and development of the county. The Program was funded by CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act), with approval by the County Board of Supervisors. The two member survey team inventoried original county documents held by the departments and agencies to find what existed, where stored, conditions of storage, etc. The team was then to recommend appropriate storage, retrieval, conservation, and disposition. This material was collected by Albert Schadel, Santa Cruz County Historical Museum Director who reported to the Director of parks, Open Space, and Cultural Services Department (POSCS) and staff of the Historical Resources Committee of POSCS (replaced by the Historical Resources Preservation Commission). This series contains progress reports and folders arranged by county department with detailed, handwritten inventory of records.
