Overview

Scope and Contents

Collection consists of indexes for the official meeting minutes of the Dallas City Council from 1917 to 1967. The minutes document not only the decisions, actions, day-to-day operations, services, and programs but also the laws, rules, and regulations of the City of Dallas. 

Use these documents to assist with researching topics in the City Council Minutes and to help identify either the minute volume and page number or file reference number.  The archivists need these numbers to access files.

Organization

The collection is stored chronologically.
