Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities records circa 1983 to 1991
Description
The accession consists of correspondence, memoranda, notes, reports, and case files. The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities was established in 1973 with responsibilities for assisting with the establishment of City policy and overseeing implementation of compliance with laws pertaining to disabled citizens. The Office also assisted with job placement, including in City Service, and much of the materials pertain to this subject. Included are administrative subject files primarily concerning job development and case files documenting job placement of individuals. The Dinkins Administration staff appears to have retained and added to earlier material for reference and around ten percent of the administrative subject files contain Dinkins material, as well as only two or three boxes of case files appear to be from the Dinkins Administration. The case files need further review for privacy issues. Arranged alphabetically.
