Description
The collection documents the civic activities of Sacramento City Councilwoman Lauren Hammond, with a small amount of personal items and awards from her office. Material dates from 1973 to 2010, with the bulk from 1993 to 2010. Originally, Hammond’s files were loosely arranged in alphabetical order. For ease of use, they have been organized into four series based on the organizations, boards, and committees she was involved in; her projects; her personal papers and awards; and audiovisual material.
