Administrative Information
| ABOUT THE COLLECTION | |
| Acquisition: | There is no acquisition information available for the records for the period May 21, 1934 to August 19, 1942. The records for the period of August 26, 1942 to December 17, 1957 and the History and Minutes were transferred to the State Archives Department of Environmental Management, Division of Agriculture and Resource Marketing, Deputy Chief Stephen M. Volpe on May 22, 2003. |
| Custodial history: | The records, created and maintained by the board, were held by the Department of Environmental Management, the successor agency of the Department of Agriculture. Transfer information on Record Book 1- 3 is unknown. Record Book 4-6 and the History and Minutes volume were transferred to the State Records Center and at one time removed by the agency. The records center inventory continued to show the boxes as being signed out. The agency did not return the records to storage and continued to pay for storage instead of having the records officially removed from storage as per procedure. The records were discovered by Public Records Administration staff on a site visit to a records storage facility maintained by DEM/Division of Agriculture at Quonset/Davisville in North Kingstown on May 22, 2003. They were transferred to the State Archives with approval of the deputy chief. The accession of the volumes continued the series previously held by the State Archives. |
| Accruals: | There was one additional accrual with the accession number 2003-29. No further accruals are anticipated at this time. |
| Processing information: | The records were processed by staff of the Rhode Island State Archives. |
