Historical Records Survey. New York (State)

Hide Profile

Each Historical Records Survey district was numbered (originally 1-12) and included from one to ten counties. Each district office was located in a major city from which the district supervisor oversaw all survey field activities within the district. Occasionally, district lines were redrawn or all or part of one district was placed under the supervision of a neighboring district's supervisor to enhance administrative efficiency. In the spring of 1941 the number of districts was reduced to eight, district lines were redrawn, and district numbers were changed.
