Scope and Content

The collection includes historical background on boards and commissions both active and defunct. The collection was compiled by Robert S. Sloan, Assistant City Secretary of the City of Dallas 1968-1975, and City Secretary 1976-1999. Although many are still active, some of the commissions and boards were dissolved as a result of “sunset” or effectiveness review and no longer exist.

The collection primarily consists of copies of ordinances and resolutions creating boards and commissions, bylaws, internal memoranda concerning the appointment and resignation of board and commission members, and membership rosters. In some instances, a brief history of the board or commission was written by Sloan. Membership rosters and appointment/resignation records were kept in separate files from 1985 to 1991.

Organization

The collection is arranged into the following series:

• Alphabetic and numeric master indexes to boards and commissions, including histories
• Rosters, Bylaws, and Memoranda

Access

Permission to publish, reproduce, distribute, or use by any and all other current or future developed methods or procedures must be obtained in writing from the Dallas Municipal Archives. All rights are reserved and retained regardless of current or future development or laws that may apply to fair use standards.
