The Ventura County Historical Records Commission was formed by the Board of Supervisors on February 25, 1975 to create a county
records preservation program. Commission members included the County Clerk and Recorder, the Director of the Library Services
Agency, the Director of the Ventura County Historical Museum, a representative of the Ventura County Cultural Heritage Board,
and a representative from the Ventura County Historical Society. They were charged with conducting a total inventory of the
records of each agency and department in the county, analyzing this inventory data, identifing those records having historical
value and publishing a records retention manual for use by the County agencies.
Folders 1-8 are administrative documents of the Historical Records Commission. Folders 9-46 reflect the inventory conducted
by the commission and each contains a history of the county agency or department, correspondence with that agency, an inventory
of historical materials created by that agency, and their record retention schedule. The records, starting with folder 9,
are organized alphabetically.
