The Robert J. Lagomarsino Collection
Senate File Arrangement

The collection is arranged in chronological order, (usually) beginning with 1961 and concluding with early 1974. The Senate Legislative Files - Record Group 1 - are arranged according to the following issues/topics, which are further categorized into subtopics. The arrangement of the record group in this manner should assist the researcher in (1) locating a specific subject matter of interest (i.e., Environment – Union Oil Spill), or (2) pursuing general topics under one particular theme (i.e., Environment).


The remaining record groups and their series materials are organized on a yearly basis and most will follow the Issue Files topical arrangement. See specific notes denoted under each record group.
