Collection was received as a gift from Stan Gould.
Scope and Content of Collection
Gould's papers include documents produced during his tenure on the Chamber of Commerce of San Jose and the Guadalupe River
Park Task Force, including correspondence, official reports, architectural plans and maps, and public meeting agendas and
minutes. The most extensive information documents the Guadalupe River Park project, tracing its beginning as a flood control
project, through the proposals for redevelopment of the area, to the final Interim Feasibility Report from the Army Corps
of Engineers. The collection illustrates the push for revitalization of San Jose during the 1970s and 1980s through the Fox
California Theater renovation, Julian/Stockton area redevelopment, and Downtown San Jose redevelopment. Also included are
minutes from the Redevelopment Agency of San Jose meetings, and records from the Rotary Club of San Jose's museum outreach
program.
