Alaska State Housing Authority Community Data Files, Newsletters, and Reference Material, 1950's-1970's

Collection

Identifier: MS 64

Staff Only

Scope and Contents

This collection is part of the Alaska State Housing Authority (ASHA) planning library. It includes city planning studies, surveys, brochures, maps and other material produced by or for municipalities and other collected data on them used by ASHA in their work. The community file is arranged alphabetically by names of Alaskan communities. Several communities such as Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Sitka had extensive files so cross references reflect which boxes are devoted to those communities.

There are some ASHA newsletters, i.e. BUILDING ALASKA, ASHA PROGRESS REPORT and general reference material on the Rural Alaska Community Action program end mapping in Box 10.

Studies produced by ASHA are cataloged as state documents and are generally not part of this file. Some municipal ordinances and files of minutes of meetings of various city councils were added to the library's municipal document collection.
