"...I enclose a copy of the State Department of General Administration biennial report."

Abstract

"Our state archives operate still under a 1909 law which makes the use of archival facilities purely optional and leaves little or no discretion to the archivist. Even the 1951 law on records classification and obsolescence has been used largely at the convenience of administrators only when record storage became an office problem calling for action. Only if the office commonly makes use of the archives--as many do not--have we an opportunity to make a general review of their records."
