Introduction/ Scope and Contents

This draft inventory describes records maintained by City Councilor Jasper Welch, dating from 1991 through February of 1999. In alphabetical order as subject files in well labeled letter size folders (except for about a half a foot of the most recent material, that was filed by the Center's archival staff upon receipt of this accession). More complete for the first term, 1991-1995, than for the second. In two photocopy-paper boxes and a #10 envelope box. At the time of the donation, Mr. Welch indicated that this represents perhaps only 10 percent of the paper that came across his desk as a City Council member. He also served as Mayor during two portions of that time.

This accession was reboxed (into six document cases), arranged, and inventoried by Center of Southwest Studies archival assistant Whitney Fletcher-Howell on May 13-14, 1999.
