- This material was originally given by City Council to the La Guardia Wagner archives. According to the documentation existing from that time, La Guardia Wagner then gave some of this original donation to us, retaining samples for their own use. La Guardia Wagner staff assigned record series numbers to this material and filled out a disposal application on the City Council's behalf. In 2013, when our staff received the material, it was deemed archival by our staff. We are reappraising it now in light of the fact that La Guardia Wagner had deemed it suitable for discarding and because we perceive that there may have been errors in the assignation of record series from the retention schedule due to the fact that the donating agency did not assign them at the time of the original donation to LaGW. This material is made up of intro requests, local law drafts, final drafts, and copies of proclamations being reviewed before issue. There is little to no research or attached information concerning the introductions, nor the final local laws. The bulk of this material is duplicates of intros or local laws, which are already held in the Municipal Archives, as well as being available through the Law Department and the Municipal Library.
