[please excuse cross postings] The Council of State Archivists (CoSA) has just completed a report on a survey of state archives and records management agencies about their programs and services for local government records. The survey was conducted in February-March 2006. This survey was done in conjunction with CoSA's "Closest to Home" project which is focused on local government archives. I have posted the report along with a number of other items to the "Closest to Home" Project section of the CoSA website. The project homepage is http://www.statearchivists.org/lga/. In addition to the survey report, you will also find a number of other resources of interest to anyone working with local government records and archives. These include two newly posted items: -- An annotated bibliography on local government records compiled by Jeremy Brett, the project's Research Associate. -- "Milestone Documents," significant reports on local government records from a national perspective that date from the mid-1960s to the present. The site also includes instructions on subscribing to the Local Government Archives listserv.
