Frank P. Zeidler Mayoral Records, 1944-1962

Container Title
Series: 2. Project Files, 1944-1962
Scope and Content Note: The Project Files are under the other part of Frank Zeidler’s office files system. They were designed by Folke Peterson, Zeidler’s Administrative Assistant, to record the city’s progress on important issues. The main headings have been consolidated from twenty-six to eighteen, largely through grouping housing and highway projects. The main headings and sub-headings are arranged alphabetically, while the material is chronological in order. The Project Files contain a much higher proportion of informational material than do the Correspondence Files. Reports, charts, and minutes predominate while correspondence with citizens is minimal.
