Historical Note

In 1971 the Livestock Sanitary Board, administered by the State Veterinary Surgeon, was abolished and its functions transferred to the Board of Livestock. The Board of Livestock, in turn, vested those functions in the Animal Health Division. The State Veterinarian became the administrator of the new division. The Animal Health Division was charged with the control and eradication of animal diseases and the prevention of the transmission of animal diseases to humans. The Division had three bureaus, the Diagnostic Laboratory Bureau, the Disease Control Bureau, and the Milk and Egg Bureau.

Content Description

These records consist primarily of general correspondence. The general correspondence is arranged according to the bureau which received or created the correspondence. Within the bureau it is arranged alphabetically by organization, topic, or bureau. The State Veterinarian was the administrator of the division and the administration correspondence is composed primarily of his records. The collection also includes interoffice correspondence, miscellany, and clippings.
