The Missouri State Archives seeks to arrange, index and describe St. Louis Circuit Court civil cases that date from 1866 to 1868. This collection consists of 11,380 individual case files (227,600 leaves) totaling 71 cubic feet. The Archives requests NEH support in the amount of $330,619 to fund the salaries and benefits of four project archivists to help us accomplish this objective. During the project period July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2008, project staff will (1) process 11,380 civil cases; (2) provide conservation treatment for 2,276 project documents having high intrinsic and artifactual value; and (3) create a descriptive finding aid, MARC catalog record, and a key-word searchable index with individual records for each case file. |
