The Information and Referral Service for Pierce and St. Croix Counties Records consist of two series: ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS and RECORDS OF RELATED AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS. The collection is incomplete as agency logs were destroyed in accordance with federal law when the organization dissolved, and other materials were transferred to the successor organization, Elders' Area Resources Service, River Falls, Wisconsin.
The series ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS (1972-1978) consists of early planning records, articles of incorporation, annual reports, correspondence, written work procedures, copies of publicity and financial records. The material provides good documentation of the initial organization and work procedures of the service. In addition, the annual reports summarize the activity of the service on a yearly basis.
The series RECORDS OF RELATED AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS (1977-1978) consists of by-laws, meeting minutes, brochures, and surveys of other organizations. Most of these organizations were umbrella agencies of which the Information and Referral Service for Pierce and St. Croix Counties, Inc. was a member. Others were agencies providing similar services in different locales. Also, there is information on Elders' Area Resources Service, which succeeded the Information and Referral Service for Pierce and St. Croix Counties, Inc. in 1978.
