The collection contains administrative, legal and subject files, and printed materials relating to the Jacksonville - Duval County, Florida government consolidation period of 1967-70. The papers provide insight and documentation on this pivotal era of Jacksonville history as witnessed by Richard A. Martin, a central participant in the consolidation process. Martin, a Jacksonville, Florida author, used the files as source materials to complete his book, Consolidation: Jacksonville-Duval County, the Dynamics of Urban Political Reform (1968). As a local journalist, editor, and municipal employee, Martin was a prime observer of Duval County history and politics. He held the position of Chief of Public Relations, City of Jacksonville from 1968 to 1970 and reported on consolidation for the Florida Times-Union and Jacksonville Journal newspapers in 1967.
