Series 2876: Museum Division Director’s Project Files. 1975-2019; n.d. [Restricted]
Dept. of Archives and History (RG 31). State Historical Museum (SG 8).

      This series includes project photos, correspondence, architectural plans, community projects, and sketches related to historic sites overseen by the department kept in the desk of the Museum Division Director. As of now this series includes files from Donna Dye and Lucy Allen. If there is a project or more information on a project in particular that cannot be found, it is recommended that the “transmittal” folders be viewed as they contained information on various projects and repairs.Any minutes of meetings regarding projects might also have been placed with Office Files (Series 2879). There is also correspondence occasionally spread amongst the project files if it was deemed better off in such. Presentations also fall under Project Files and Office Files, so be sure to look at both series. “MDAH” grouping can also contain historic plans for historic properties all over the state. Arrangement on the finding aid is by historic site. Each folder also lists the site and the Museum Division Director who held the file.

ACCESS NOTE

Access to architectural drawings is limited. Application for access, with justification, must be submitted to the Director, Archives and Library Division, or to the Department Director.
